"Motivated by the extraordinary quality and number of proposals, Press Forward is funding twice as many news organizations as it anticipated initially through its first open call," the press release reported. "The recipients, the majority receiving $100,000 in general operating support, were selected from a total of 931 proposals from newsrooms with annual budgets of less than $1 million."
"These newsrooms are proof that we are seeing a moment of transformation, where new and longstanding leaders are stepping up to create a new story for local news," said Dale R. Anglin, Press Forward's director. "Each of these newsrooms plays a vital public service role in its community - providing trustworthy local news and information in places where no other sources may exist. Independent newsrooms need community support to survive."
