Report for America's parent organization will "sunset" its in-house editorial projects to focus on funding local journalism
Briefly

from Nieman Lab1 week ago
Charlie Sennott, founder of the GroundTruth Project, is stepping away after ten years to start GroundTruth Media Partners LLC. The nonprofit will now be led by Rob Zeaske, overseeing Report for America and Report for the World. Sennott aims to leverage his experience in reporting and consulting through his new for-profit entity, while the GroundTruth Project will refocus its mission to enhance local news sustainability. Significant funding from the Knight Foundation reflects the program's impact and future ambitions.
We've developed a pioneering formula that helps newsrooms match our national funding with their local sustainability initiatives, creating programs that demonstrate excellence and high satisfaction.

The transition will allow us to strengthen our flagship programs, distinguish our Report for America and Report for the World brands and deepen our impact.
