Entrepreneurial Journalism
We support cutting-edge exploration of ways to produce and pay for high-quality, reliably sourced information that helps people make decisions about their communities and their lives.
How The Harnisch Foundation Invests in Journalism:
- We fulfill our outstanding obligations to current grantees.
- We continue to support those with whom we have relationships, with our goal, as always, to help grantees "launch and leave."
- We invest in new possibilities for self-sustaining initiatives in producing and disseminating well-sourced information on issues of importance.The Harnisch Foundation is interested in funding the NEXT model, not the next iteration of a model that's already received funding.
Some of these projects include Poynter Institute, Center for Sustainable Journalism, The Media Consortium, Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, Online News Association, Oakland Local, Spot.us, Newsdesk, MinnPost, The OpEd Project, Harnisch Collaborative Future of Journalism Projects at Baruch College, WikiMedia Foundation and Creative Commons.
