Posted • Media organizations in Canada are struggling with challenges that undermine their ability to produce and distribute public interest journalism. The disruption of traditional revenue sources, declining public trust in media, and the rise of misinformation require new tools for journalism organizations to move forward.

"Funding Journalism: A Guide to Philanthropic Support for Canadian Media" provides practical tools for Canadian media interested in exploring philanthropy as a revenue source.

This guide is part of Inspirit Foundation’s ongoing effort to bridge the information gap between philanthropy and journalism in Canada. It was created in collaboration with the Local News Research Project at and .

Les médias canadiens ont des défis à relever sur plusieurs fronts, ce qui nuit à leur capacité de produire et de diffuser du contenu journalistique servant l’intérêt public. Le bouleversement des sources de revenus traditionnelles, le déclin de la confiance du public dans les médias et la montée de la désinformation exigent que le secteur du journalisme adopte de nouveaux outils pour aller de l'avant.

« Financer le journalisme : guide pratique pour le soutien philanthropique aux médias canadiens » offre des conseils pratiques aux médias canadiens songeant à explorer la philanthropie comme source de revenus. Il s’adresse aux journalistes et aux responsables de médias à but lucratif ou non, ainsi qu’à toute personne intéressée par le journalisme.

Ce guide fait partie des efforts de la Fondation Inspirit pour combler les lacunes informationnelles entre la philanthropie et le journalisme au Canada. Il est fruit d’une collaboration avec le Local News Research Project de l’Université métropolitaine de Toronto et l’Association canadienne des journalistes (ACJ).
