On Thursday, October 6, Colorado Media Project and the Colorado News Collaborative announced the list of local newsrooms participating in the 2022 #newsCOneeds year-end matching challenge.
The Mountain-Ear is one of the newsrooms selected to participate.
Between November 29 (a.k.a. #GivingNewsDay) and December 31, 2022, each of these newsrooms can earn up to $5,000 from CMP, in a dollar-for-dollar match aimed at inspiring individual giving to support long-term sustainability of their public-service journalism — which informs and engages communities and strengthens civic engagement statewide.
Matching grants will help increase individual support for local Colorado journalism.
Thirty-three Colorado newsrooms are poised to collectively raise more than a quarter-million dollars to strengthen and sustain their coverage of local governments, businesses, schools and communities — but they need your help.
2022 is the fifth consecutive year that CMP is offering the matching grant challenge, which is modeled after the national NewsMatch campaign that has helped nonprofit newsrooms across the country raise over $223 million since 2016. This year’s #newsCOneeds challenge follows the successful 2021 state-level campaign, in which 26 CMP grantees collectively raised more than $700,000 in the month of December.
Colorado’s #newsCOneeds matching challenge is unique in the nation, in that any locally owned, locally operated Colorado news organization that is regularly publishing nonpartisan local news may apply — regardless of business model or distribution method.
Want to support all 33 newsrooms? While newsrooms are encouraged to direct their readers or listeners to their own contribution pages, a campaign landing page (thisisnewsconeeds.com) provides a unifying message and a single-point for campaign contributions, which are split equally among the participating newsrooms.
Want to shout out your favorite story or newsroom? Newsrooms, advocates and members of the public are encouraged to use a common hashtag (#newsCOneeds) to spotlight some of the amazing journalism produced by local newsrooms in 2022, and to encourage others to give generously.
