The grant follows NPR’s earlier plan to create a “Backstop” team to review news reporting.
A $100,000 grant from Press Forward will help Radio Catskill in New York hire at least one additional reporter.
NPR, PBS NewsHour and This American Life were among the winners.
The project comes at a time when funding is scarce for changing equipment.
The consultant will facilitate a meeting with up to 23 stations.
“The new fellows are adding to the number of diverse voices that we aim to support in the documentary space.”
Nearly 300 people have signed the Change.org petition.
What’s the point of local TV stations when viewers can — and increasingly do — watch national programming online?
One is in partnership with a long-running magazine.
“Nothing is more important than how your station sounds.”
“We’ll be using captioning and other tools to make it as accessible as possible to all viewers.”
