The Challenge Fund for Journalism, a consortium of the Ford, McCormick, and Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundations, has committed $100,000 to helping CJR sustain its vital coverage of journalism’s ever-changing landscape. The kicker? We have to raise a matching amount from other sources. CJR’s role — media monitor and a source for reasoned discussion about how journalists do their work — has never been more important. Keep the conversation alive with a donation to CJR and help us meet our match. Please do so here on our donate page, or by a check, to Columbia Journalism Review, Journalism Building, 2950 Broadway, New York, NY 10025 and please include the words Challenge Fund match in the memo line. Contributions are tax deductible.
