For many smaller, independent newsrooms, charitable status would open the door to new sources of funding for protecting and supporting public interest journalism.

📢#Bristol is inches away from £10k for #BartonHouse residents!
£500 has been donated directly - we've passed it straight to vols for 1st lot of supplies, so total is page +500.
We need long-term solutions. But your generosity is providing immediate relief.

🤔Where did public money spent on #journalism during covid go?
🤷♀️How did govt make these decisions, worth up to £200m?
🔎Who benefitted—and who didn't get a fair slice?

Hoping this boosts the trajectory of the good work already underway by @CharitableJP and @PINewsF ✊
Charitable Journalism Project retweeted
New research from @PINewsF shows over 4m are now living in a UK news desert.
#Bristol is lucky to be among the 'news oases', with a high number of outlets.
The Cable supports new newsrooms with training, and is working with industry partners to help abolish news deserts.
Wondering what the CJP is all about?

Looking forward to speaking at today's @UWEJournalism event on the sustainability of #LocalNews - specifically, public interest news (as opposed to commercial/tabloid).
The movement to 'save local news' has gained momentum recently - here's how 🧵👇[1/11]

😱This is why we are pioneering a new, people-powered media model.
Reach:
• pays its CEO £4m a year
• just announced expansion into the US
• "can't afford" to pay its already skeleton UK staff
Corporate #LocalNews continues to shell out... 🧵👇[1/3]

📢Here's what the @guardian has to say in its latest editorial about fighting for independent #LocalNews and why its decline is a crisis for democracy📉
Huge thanks for including @TheBristolCable as an example of success (but behind the scenes, it's complicated...🧵👇) [1/12]

And that research is linked to by the @guardian too!
This thread shows how/why the UK has seen a decimation of #LocalNews, and how hard it is to convince the general public to pay for the quality #LocalNews that has survived.
Our Local News Deserts research (cjproject.org/research-proje…) very much backs up these findings.
