Investire nell’informazione locale: la campagna di Press Forward

The MacArthur Foundation has spearheaded the Press Forward initiative to raise $1bn for local journalism in the US. Why are US philanthropists putting so much energy into local news? Can local news leaders in other parts of the world use this as an inspiration to create similar funds? And what is the role of philanthropy in local journalism anyway – have we given up on finding a business model?
