The Institute for Nonprofit News released its ninth annual INN Index on Tuesday, analyzing data reported from hundreds of its members to understand the state of nonprofit news in 2025. The Index remains one of the most detailed snapshots of the revenue and audience picture across nonprofit newsrooms; this year’s data set primarily draws on survey responses from 412 INN members, or 93% of its membership, and includes a section examining AI use and impacts from the 2025 political climate.
“The 2026 Index points to an increasingly local field that is, as a whole, continuing to grow (albeit at a slower pace),” authors Jesse Holcomb, Michele McLellan and Ha Ta write in the executive summary. “But headwinds on funding and audience fronts persist at the individual newsroom level.”
