I do think it's wild that over the last 365 days almost every non-profit newsroom (including many NPRs and big names everywhere) have lost major funders and each time it's treated as an individual story and no one asks if there is an underlying issue.

Every non profit journalist I know is talking about how no one has money any more and it's wild to me that no one has even tried to explain this phenomenon which sure feels like a systematic issue and not a bunch of random coincidences.
@Chronotope It’s the same issue as a traditional publication - no path to sustainability or no revenue model at all.
@Chronotope Journos continually focus on less important things or whine about layoffs instead of working on new business models that doesn't depend on handouts. Failure of news industry related in large part to balkanization of business ops (church & state) & insularity of newsrooms.
