INN Startup Guide

We’re here to help as you plan, launch and operate a nonprofit news organization.

INN created and maintains the Startup Guide to help new nonprofit newsrooms take root and get set up for success.  The guide covers the essentials for founders: the tech you need, how to define your ethics and more.

What would make the Startup Guide more helpful?

We welcome additions and suggestions to keep our guides up to date for news entrepreneurs. Please send us your suggested resources, sample policies, case studies or article suggestions.

Work on the Startup Guide began in 2016 under a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and has continued with support from funders including the Democracy Fund, the Ford Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Open Society Foundations.
