Learn about the benefits of becoming a Report For America host newsroom in this free informational session. Sept. 18 is the deadline for news organizations to apply to become partners with Report for America, where reporters are matched with newsrooms to help cover underreported issues and communities. Reporters would be based in that particular newsroom for up to 3 years, starting in Summer 2024.
Benefits of Becoming a Host Newsroom:
- We’ll recruit for you a slate of journalists passionate about the beat you’ve designated as a coverage need.
- We’ll help show you new ways to raise money locally. Some of our host newsrooms have raised hundreds of thousands
of dollars in just a few years. - We pay half the journalist’s salary the first year, a third of the salary the second year, and 20% the optional third year.
- You gain access to a network of over 200 like-minded host newsrooms to collaborate with and use as a resource.
- Through our partnership, your newsroom will ultimately expand and grow more sustainably.
