ABSTRACT
As news startups grow and mainstream news continues to struggle, the debate about whether journalism’s future is entrepreneurial or philanthropic has intensified. Still, most of the research is in the form of case studies using metrics that aren’t comparable. This study offers a systematic approach to examining finances of news non-profits in the U.S. to explore levels of entrepreneurial and philanthropic funding. I find that few news non-profits so far earn significant revenue outside of donations.
