You're invited to the upcoming webinar | | | How can philanthropy strengthen your news organization? | The economics of the news industry are shifting. The increasingly challenging environment to diversify revenue has led to creative new ways of thinking about how to fund journalism. Foundations, individuals, and corporations are increasingly providing media and journalism with philanthropic support. In many cases, this support is an investment in future newsroom capabilities, including new technologies for better content delivery, expanded coverage, and strategic partnerships.
The Associated Press has benefited from philanthropic support for the past five years, making possible expansive coverage in areas like climate change, health and science. In 2024, AP launched a foundation, the AP Fund for Journalism (APFJ), to explore ways for philanthropy to play a role in both ensuring the future of AP public service journalism and the AP's 50-state U.S. footprint, while also supporting the U.S. local news ecosystem by providing AP content and services to an ever-widening group of local newsrooms across the country. Leaders from APFJ will demonstrate how philanthropy can supplement your core business in this exciting AP Forward webinar offered to all journalists and those defining the future of news. | Date: Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026 Time: 1500 GMT / 10 a.m. EST | | | | | Vice President of Individual Giving APFJ | | | AP Forward is a new, year-round forum for frank conversation among those who are defining the future of news.
