Trusted media is transforming our communities: a letter from News414’s Project Manager, Bevin Christie
The planning of News414 began prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, but when we launched during the outbreak, the importance of this initiative became clear to us, now, more than ever.
The beginning of 2020’s end
Journalism that is grounded in facts, reporting the truth and providing in-depth coverage to give a whole picture of the problems that are impacting our society today is vital for a thriving democracy. Democracy cannot exist without honest journalism. And our investigative reporting cannot be done without your support.
Wisconsin Watch alums cover the nation, world with pandemic news you need
Over our 11-year history, the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism has trained more than 50 young journalists and public engagement and marketing professionals. As the pandemic has ravaged the world, former Wisconsin Watch interns have been there to document it and provide crucial information to help the public navigate COVID-19.
Turbulent times need diligent reporters
We all can do our part to ensure fact-checked, in-depth reporting continues into 2021 and beyond. Join us in supporting Wisconsin Watch by giving a one-time gift of $60, $120, $240 or whatever you’re able to give.
A story that lifted one woman’s burden
This pandemic has upended life in Wisconsin, as it has around the globe. Each day in this state thousands of people are diagnosed with COVID-19, dozens of people die and many, many more struggle to keep a roof over their heads and food on their tables. This new reality has added greater weight to the journalism we produce at Wisconsin Watch to protect the vulnerable, expose wrongdoing and explore solutions.
We’re proud of our work.
Your outpouring of support is remarkable — and appreciated!
For this year’s #GivingTuesday, we set a one-day goal of $5,000 for the first time in the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism’s history. We hoped that we could reach it by midnight to meet an inspiring match offered by donor Barbara Johnson. By 5 o’clock, your gifts exceeded our goal and by the end of the day, the grand total reached $6,848! On top of that, over a third of you who donated were first-time supporters of the Center and Wisconsin Watch, our newsroom.
A reflection on 2020 and showing our appreciation
In honor of #GivingTuesday, will you join Barbara and our many other generous donors by giving a donation today? This dollar-for-dollar $5,000 match is only available today. Make your year-end donation to Wisconsin Watch right now!
