Published 11 months ago
Description
When the U.S. government cut funding for local news stations, the Knight Foundation moved quickly to help stabilize a rapidly eroding industry. President and CEO Maribel Pérez Wadsworth joins Rapid Response to unpack the evolving roles of philanthropy and government, and why philanthropic organizations must learn to move at the speed of the news cycle. Wadsworth also explores what traditional journalists can learn from digital creators, the risks of crossing political leaders, and how to stay impartial in an increasingly polarized environment.
