Worth a Read:

• The Institute for Nonprofit News released a report on diversity in the nonprofit news sector and found that the racial and ethnic composition of staff at nonprofit news organizations is largely similar to the US population. However, more than two-thirds of nonprofit outlets are white-led.
• Communities can provide valuable information, resources and support for investigative journalism. GIJN highlighted four examples of successful community-driven journalism projects from Quinto Elemento Lab, Malaysiakini, The Bristol Cable and Correctiv’s CrowdNewsroom.
• A political science professor wrote in Nieman Lab about how the media industry is facing a slump with news consumption decreasing and job losses abounding. They say it’s due to subsiding political anxiety, reduced interest among winning party supporters and fewer attacks on the media by politicians.
