Journalism for a New Age
|
|
 |
The Journalism for a New Age Endowment Campaign, launched in 2007 by the ASNE Foundation, will help fortify ASNE resources for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
To date, we have raised nearly $800,000. Our goal is to raise an additional $1,125,000 by Dec 31, 2009.
Why this specific number? If we are successful, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation will match these funds with a $750,000 challenge grant. This means ASNE will have an additional $1,875,000 to help assure quality journalism thrives as the news business is reshaped by structural change.
All gifts made through Dec. 31, 2009, will be matched. A $100 gift translates to $166, a $150 gift to $250 and a $500 gift to $833.
Please consider making a contribution NOW. Here’s how:
- Donate through PayPal by clicking on the Donate button to the right.
- By phone at 703-453-1121.
- By mail. Please print out and complete the campaign gift/pledge form, and mail it to ASNE, 11690B Sunrise Valley Dr., Reston, VA 20191. A pledge of support can be made now and paid over time.
- Don’t forget to ask if your company will match your gift. All corporate matching gifts are matched by the Knight grant.
To learn more about the campaign, see our Campaign Snapshot.
Thank you and please know that all gifts, at whatever level, are welcome!

Two senators want to return a citizenship question to the 2010 census. On Oct. 7 Republican Senators Bob Bennett, Utah, and David Vitter, La., introduced an amendment to stop funding the 2010 census unless it includes a question of citizenship status. “If the current census plan goes ahead, the inclusion of non-citizens toward apportionment will artificially increase the population count in certain states, and that will likely result in the loss of congressional seats for nine other states, including Louisiana,” said Vitter in an Oct. 16 press release. |
