Journalism Program will host upcoming funders meeting

The McCormick Foundation is one of the co-hosts for the Journalism Funders meeting held in Chicago this year. The meeting convenes funders who support journalism and media at a number of levels—some are major investors, like the Knight and McCormick foundations, and others like the California Endowment invest in journalism as a means for communicating health information and as an agent for policy change. The meeting, which will take place July 20-21, 2011, will feature roundtable discussions on key issues facing journalism funders, as well as networking and collaboration among funders. MacArthur Foundation, Driehaus Foundation and the Chicago Community Trust are co-hosts.
