nonprofit news model

A nonprofit news model is a journalism organization that operates without aiming to make a profit. Instead, it focuses on serving the public interest by providing in-depth, factual reporting on important issues. Funding typically comes from donations, grants, and community support, allowing it to prioritize accountability and journalistic integrity over advertising revenue. This model helps sustain investigative work and diverse coverage that might be less profitable for commercial outlets, ensuring communities receive reliable information essential for informed participation in civic life.
