Leadership

Greetings, NPQ readers! This week’s Leadership newsletter focuses on a topic close to my heart: the troubled state of US journalism—and what can be done to ensure that journalism serves the cause of justice. 

Nonprofit news is one important way to sustain the field. We also delve into “movement” journalism, which seeks to upend traditional notions of objectivity and journalistic removal and instead foster media that takes a stand on behalf of oppressed peoples. Then, we turn to the archives to revisit an argument by former NPQ Economic Justice Editor Rithika Ramamurthy for a “new kind of journalism,” independent of corporate interests. Then, our own Steve Dubb interviews Monika Bauerlein of Mother Jones about the future of robust investigative journalism. Finally, we invite you to attend our upcoming Premium Webinar: QuickBooks for Nonprofits

As always, the Leadership desk wants to hear from you. What would you like to see more—or less—of? Do you have questions you’d like us to tackle? Email Leadership Editor Isaiah Thompson at [email protected]—and thanks for reading.
