InfluenceWatch Podcast #312: Nonprofits and the News

Journalism is changing, with nonprofit outlets, especially on the left, playing an increasing role in how information gets to the people. Just this week, the press has praised States Newsroom, the Arabella Advisors-seeded network of DEI-focused state-level journalism outlets, and a senior editor at the government-and-Big-Philanthropy-funded National Public Radio has published an article detailing how the outlet shifted from orthodox-liberal in outlook to a radical vanguardist Everything Leftism with a commitment to esoteric identity politics. Soon Capital Research Center will publish a special issue of our magazine focusing on nonprofit journalism and other ideological media projects; joining me to discuss that are my colleagues Ken Braun and Parker Thayer.
