INN’s vision is to build a nonprofit news network that ensures all people in every community have access to trusted news. To that end, we pursue our mission of providing education and business support services to our nonprofit member organizations and promoting the value and benefit of public-service and investigative journalism.

Grounded in hard data and the lived experience of our members, INN has an unparalleled depth of knowledge about nonprofit news. We know what’s working, what isn’t, what’s missing, and what’s possible now. 

We use our informed perspective to design services with transformative potential for our members and field. INN’s top priorities — each of which contributes to the overarching goal of journalistic excellence — are to: 

• Elevate journalism as a philanthropic cause, creating sustainable revenue for members.
• Center diversity, equity and inclusion as field norms.
• Sponsor experimentation that allows nonprofit news models to adapt and grow.
• Invest in the talent and human capital that drive sustained change in an emerging field.
