We’ve built this year’s conference tracks around some of the core challenges and opportunities that will shape the future of nonprofit news:

Diversify Philanthropic Support: Finding new funding sources beyond the usual suspects, including local and national supporters who are starting to make journalism a philanthropic priority.

Evolve Audience Strategies: Overcoming audience disengagement and distrust by getting smarter about how to create and deliver journalism that meets people’s information needs.

Build Resilient Nonprofits: Adopting practices and policies that allow organizations to become more agile and responsive, use resources efficiently, and foster healthy workspaces.

Protect Against Emerging Threats: Developing proactive approaches for newsrooms to handle issues related to digital and physical safety, crisis response and legal protections.

Develop Civic Allies: Building connections across different sectors—community organizers, other nonprofits, policy advocates—who can serve as collaborators in fostering informed communities.
