Nonprofit is a tax status not a business model #SXNotFuture

@RHawkesStaffs Do you think it's bc of strength of gov't support? Many in #pubmedia are envious of UK spending on media. Pros Cons?

@RHawkesStaffs But handout implies something negative (often). Seems like mutual benefit rather than one-sided
MediaFunders (GFEM) 2 years 16 weeks ago
@RHawkesStaffs yes, different model for sure.

@RHawkesStaffs How much of UK news comes from 'handouts'? Do you mean funders here? or goverment?
MediaFunders (GFEM) 2 years 16 weeks ago
How much should foundations shift to VC model? Lots are testing - @KnightFdn as a model for re-examining support model #SXNotFuture

Philanthropy has a role in journalism - but it's not primary funder. Math that does't add up #SXNotFuture
MediaFunders (GFEM) 2 years 16 weeks ago
Are there types of journalism that can't be sustained in other ways? If so, that might be place for stronger #philanthropic support

Budget model of only 15% on sales, development, revenue won't work. Too top heavy #SXNotFuture
MediaFunders (GFEM) 2 years 16 weeks ago
Who are you reaching and how are you converting that into piece of revenue model? #SXNotFuture #journalism
MediaFunders (GFEM) 2 years 16 weeks ago
#Philanthropy should be no more than 30% of sustainability in new models of #journalism #NotFuture

Do foundation grants = strings attached like advertising dollars? #NotFuture
