About the 2022 Index
The INN Index is the most comprehensive study of the state of nonprofit news.
Since 2018, the Institute for Nonprofit News has conducted this annual Index survey of its member nonprofit news organizations. INN member news organizations act as a research consortium by sharing their business and editorial statistics to help each other benchmark their own development. The sharing also helps INN and the field evaluate and better understand new media models as they form: the staffing, business models, financials, and editorial focus of newsrooms in the growing movement of public service journalism.
INN’s 2022 Index was published on July 27, 2022. Previous Index reports are archived.
