LINA’s Fundraising Campaign for Public Interest Journalism
Powered by our Community!
In an unprecedented move, the Local and Independent News Association (LINA) has announced a ground-breaking fundraising campaign that promises to bolster public interest journalism.
From the 3rd to the 7th of June, The Post in partnership with LINA will host a Giving Day event, harnessing the collective power of the community to support a cause that remains vital to the fabric of our society.
The Giving Day concept is not new, but LINA’s approach is innovative. By coordinating an industry-wide effort, they aim to amplify the impact of individual contributions.
For every dollar donated by the public, LINA pledges to match it, effectively doubling the support for independent journalists and small news outlets that form the backbone of LINA.
This campaign is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a clarion call for community engagement and a testament to the belief that everyone deserves access to unbiased and comprehensive news. In a time when public interest journalism is under threat, LINA’s initiative stands as a beacon of hope, signalling a commitment to truth and integrity.
The success of this campaign hinges on community participation. It’s an opportunity for individuals to show their support for a free press and for the journalists who dedicate their lives to keeping the public informed. As we approach the event, let’s rally behind the noble cause of public interest journalism. Together, we can ensure that the voices of independent news can continue to resonate in an increasingly noisy world.
Join us in this pivotal moment for journalism. Mark your calendars, spread the word, and prepare to make a difference. With LINA’s matching funds, your contribution will have twice the impact. Let’s unite for the cause of keeping our community informed and engaged.
It’s not just about giving; it’s about sustaining the lifeblood of our democracy.
There will be pop ups on our website from 3rd June, which is being managed by Press Patron, all contributions are gratefully received by The Post and we look forward to your support.
All supporters will be listed in our July edition subsequent to the finalisation of the giving campaign.
You don’t have to wait for the event to support The Post, contribute now.
