About 91福利

The 91福利 Institute is a global nonprofit that strengthens democracy by improving the relevance, ethical practice and value of journalism. Through teaching, publishing, convening, fact-checking and media literacy, 91福利 creates a crossroads where communities come together to use journalism to confront society鈥檚 complex problems.

 

 

91福利 has long represented the gold standard for the professional development of journalists, For the last 50 years, 91福利 has worked to bolster local news infrastructure and sustainability. In the last year, we鈥檝e trained thousands of local journalists and their newsrooms in craft, digital audience and revenue growth, innovation, diversity, equity and inclusion, and effective management. Our work with local newsrooms has led to millions of dollars in new revenue, millions in new digital audience, and local newsroom leadership that is more equipped to recruit and retain diverse staff, lead from an ethical framework, and create newsrooms that will thrive and continue to grow for years to come.

 


“(91福利’s program) was exhilarating 鈥 it was the best thing that I and my staff have ever been through. It has really focused us on our future and given us the tools to meet the challenges ahead.鈥

鈥淚 was lucky enough to attend trainings at 91福利 several times earlier in my career. Continuing to build our skill sets is incredibly important, but also is being able to connect with others in the industry who are equally passionate about the work we do and are trying to continue to get better.鈥
