Public media is in crisis. Newsrooms across the nation are cutting hard news staff to the bone. An independent press, which can hold government and business accountable with hard hitting coverage, is at risk posing a serious threat to our democracy.
- Michael Stoll, founder of The Public Press, a nonprofit startup that will provide noncommercial public interest news for the Bay Area.
- Josh Wilson, founder of Newsdesk.org, a nonprofit which collates and produces reporting on important but overlooked news from around the world.
- Kara Andrade, of Spot.us, a nonprofit startup that enables citizens and reporters to crowdfund investigative reporting through an innovative online platform.
