Cultivating Support for Arts and Culture Journalism: A Convening
3 – 4:15PM
Please join Critical Minded and the Dorothea and Leo Rabkin Foundation for an online convening on the state of independent arts and culture journalism. They will present learnings from a new report, Support for Arts and Culture Journalism.
Based on a survey of 141 independent US publications that cover arts and culture, the report explores the impact of recent funding shifts and free-speech pressures. This presentation will be followed by a panel discussion with publishers sharing their experiences and insights on how to keep arts and culture journalism vibrant, relevant, and sustainable. They will also announce the public release of the survey data to encourage further research and insights. Come learn about the challenges facing cultural coverage and how they can continue to advocate and build support for it into the future.
