In collaboration with The Philanthropy Workshop and Claire Hoffman (journalist and Global Philanthropists Circle (GPC) member), Synergos’ GPC program has been holding discussions to explain the field of independent journalism, share examples about how the process works, and how donors can support such efforts.

In Alliance, Hoffman explores critical questions that have emerged in these conversations:

Given this moment—where journalism is vulnerable and where the average American believes you can not trust what you read and hear, what do philanthropists and nonprofits do with journalism as a tool for change. How do we support an empowered, intelligent press with resources to conduct their work grounded in sound research and responsibly analyzed data?
