💬 “We need to redefine our role as journalists in order to be useful and valuable to the communities we serve.” 💬 “Any reinvention of this profession requires not forgetting that at the centre are the people who consume our informative content. It is to them that we owe ourselves.”   💬 “We need to reinvent, reimagine and reframe our value to society.”   💬 “You're trying to solve something that is pretty intractable. I'm intrigued.” These are just some of the many inspiring comments that I received in response to my latest article, in which I argue that journalism must be reinvented and that we can only start from updating our mission: https://lnkd.in/dKkTkWVK ❓ What do you think? How can we set this reinvention in motion?

Let’s not kid ourselves. Quality, responsible and independent journalism cannot be done without money. The fact that a journalist is well (i.e. adequately) paid also determines the degree of his or her self-confidence, assertiveness and control vis-à-vis the powerful and often the rich. Robert Brestan, Editor-in-Chief, HlídacíPes.org explains why independent news organisations need donor funding, and shares insights about how grantees think about such projects. https://bit.ly/3QZJG2K

In the latest #BetterNews piece, Jan Ross Sakian shared advice from Jane Elizabeth on how to navigate 5 misconceptions about grants to support your journalism 👇 1⃣ How many grant applications are enough? While it’s tempting to try for “everything that you can,” being selective with your choices is more effective. Local news organizations should place community foundations at the top of the list when starting a funding search.  2⃣ Consider building a presentation that can highlight relevant information about the state of the journalism industry and how it affects your organization. Facts and figures can help educate funders on pressing issues and the potential for impact.  3⃣ After you’ve been awarded a grant, figuring out manageable ways to measure impact is important, especially if renewal is an option. Set calendar reminders for regular data-gathering practices to monitor the key performance indicators for the specific grant. 4⃣ General operating grants that can help pay overhead costs are more challenging to secure than money designated toward a specific project. Knowing how to read and decipher contracts is key to making the best use of a grant within the funder’s requirements. 5⃣ If you don't get a grant, email a program officer at a funding organization to ask, “What could be done better and what is the process of applying again?” This can help you stay in touch and determine whether it’s worth the effort to reapply. https://lnkd.in/eJcdnGUp #grantwriting #journalism #localnews

A great piece in Press Gazette on the current state and future prospects of local journalism in the UK. The main theme is that it is all about satisfying the audience, rather than debating over ownership models. #softwareforpublishers #newspaper #publishers #PCS #softwaredevelopment #softwaresolutions #journalists #digitalmedia #publishingsoftware #publishingtechnology #publisher #publishing #localnews #FollowLocalJournalists
