Many nonprofit news organizations have grown beyond their startup phase, but continue to operate under founding boards, which can be detrimental to the organization. This report examines the current state of nonprofit news boards and offers a roadmap to make the transition to mature, effective governance.
To better understand the current role and future potential of boards in nonprofit news, the Knight Center for the Future of News partnered with the ASU Lodestar Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation, the Institute for Nonprofit News (INN) and the Media Information, Data, and Society (MIDaS) Lab at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Focused on organizations that have moved or are moving beyond the startup phase, the research included interviews, focus groups, a survey of leaders and board members and an analysis of board composition.
