Listen Later

The eighth episode of Press Gazette’s Future of Media Explained podcast takes a look at how some newsrooms are turning to charitable donors to open up new revenue streams.

 

The episode features an interview with Peter Geoghegan, editor--in-chief and CEO of non-profit media platform, Open Democracy. Funded largely through grants from foundations and trusts, Open Democracy brings some 11 million visitors per year to its site.

Open Democracy is not the only newsroom that's turned to donors for support- data suggests that upwards of $550 million of philanthropic money was given to support journalism around the world in 2020.


Geoghegan speaks to data journalist Aisha Majid about what makes a newsroom attractive to philanthropic donors, what it takes to run a donor-funded newsroom as well as some of the challenges fundraising for news presents in the UK.
