America's Newspapers welcomes FORJournalism into membership

America's Newspapers is proud to welcome a new Solutions Partner into membership:

FORJournalism is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit led by media professionals with decades of experience operating successful rural and metro news organizations. 

FORJournalism was created to stem the tide of the decline of journalism in Oregon by connecting vulnerable publications with opportunities such as trainings, technology, tools and grants to keep newsroom doors open.

FORJournalism is working to solve Oregon’s journalism crisis through programming in three core areas:

• ​The FORJ Resource Center. We help news publications evolve their business models to be sustainable and thrive, including through our civic information hubs connecting journalists with local stakeholders in new ways.
• Future Journalists of America. We teach the state’s next generation of First Amendment defenders to battle misinformation and practice quality journalism.
• The Journalism Lab. This developing program brings professional journalists together to cover specific topics. Their reporting is then provided to local publications, ensuring high quality content is available across the state.

Jody Lawrence Turner is executive director and can be reached at info@forjournalism.org. Heidi Wright, immediate past president of America's Newspapers, serves on the FORJ board of directors and can be reached at hwright@forjournalism.org.
