Talk:Nonprofit journalism

Comments[edit]

Regarding elite foundation-subsidized journalism or so-called "philanthrojournalism", the Carnegie Corporation (whose board of trustees chairmperson was the CEO of the New York Times Company in recent years) posted a a puff-piece about the need for foundation-sponsored "non-profit" journalism in 2005; and there isn't much evidence that many investigative, critical or negative articles or radio/tv segments about Soros's foundations or any of the other U.S. power elite foundations have ever been printed, aired or broadcast by many of the "non-profit" journalists, newspapers or radio/tv media groups about the foundations that fund them.

Substituting funds from foundations for funds from corporate advertisers to finance daily newspapers or radio/tv news departments usually just means that the special editorial editorial influence and self-censorship policies previously exercised on journalism by corporate advertisers (i.e. department stores, automobile companies, etc.) now tends to get exercised by foundation grant providers. (See following links for info about which special corporate and elite interests are represented on the Carnegie Corporation of NY board of trustees these days and the text of its 2005 article).--bob

The American Journalism Review also did an article about foundation-subsidized journalism in usa. (See following link:) http://www.ajr.org/article.asp?id=4458

And Rick Edmunds' March/April 2002 article in philanthropy digest is at the following link: http://www.philanthropyroundtable.org/topic/excellence_in_philanthropy/getting_behind_the_media 108.7.5.33 (talk) 02:23, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to rewrite to sound more professional and move unimportant/inessential information that is not cited to this page to combat the issue of original research. I plan to link to this page through related articles. (Estazu (talk) 23:49, 6 March 2014 (UTC)) my sandbox[reply]

Merge with non-profit journalism[edit]

There is an article named non-profit journalism that covers the same topic as this one. Also, that article is linked to many others, while this one is an orphan. I'm not sure what should be done, though merging the two and creating a redirect from this article to the non-profit journalism article would make sense.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to merge

Since the proposed merger was filed on 14 January 2014 and there was no discussion for over 30 days, I will be boldly performing the merger in my sandbox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:IranOwnz/sandbox). The changes I have done was a rearrangement of the History section to include all the information from both articles. I have also extensively researched for citations in order to check if there was original data included in the articles, however I did not find said sources and therefore deleted those claims from the article. Lastly, I added just a couple wiki-links that I believe should have been present.

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

What is the ideal destination for this page? Nonprofit journalism?

Organization vs. Organisation[edit]

I all instances to "Organization". Mostly because there were more instances of it than with an "s", and it'd be good to have it be formalized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Infinite-patterns (talk • contribs) 17:54, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Terminology + major edits (updated Oct 4 2023)[edit]

Reading through some sources during this deep dive renovation, the terms that keep being used in the 2020's seem to be "Nonprofit journalism" and "Nonprofit news organizations/groups/outlets/etc."

I haven't seen continued use of: Not-for-profit journalism, Non-profit journalism, NPJ, NPJ centers, Philanthrojournalism, or Think Tank journalism. Philanthrojournalism also seems to be a UK-specific term, but am looking for sourcing to verify.

Will propose moving this page to Nonprofit journalism pending discussion here Superb Owl (talk) 05:12, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This page is moving to "Nonprofit journalism" next week once that redirect page has been deleted Superb Owl (talk) 18:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
