Journalism

This webinar introduced health funders to Press Forward, a national movement revitalizing local media and sources of information. Press Forward’s Associate Director, Christina Shih, discussed ways funders can engage with the initiative including pooled funds, aligned grantmaking, and local chapters. Taryn Fort, Senior Director of Communications and External Influence at The Colorado Health Foundation and Nora Ferrell, Director of Communications at the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, will share how support for local journalism aligns with their foundations’ work to advance health and equity, as well as why they are part of Press Forward.
