A Commitment to Community Through Journalism
Since 2021, an established fund has been backing public service and investigative journalism, aiming to uncover the truth about many pressing local issues. It’s all about ensuring that our towns and neighborhoods are informed, and let’s be real; we can’t overlook the role of journalism in strengthening our democracy.
Why Investigative Journalism Matters
You might be wondering, why all the fuss about investigative journalism? Well, tackling tough issues can take a lot of time and, let’s face it, money. Requests for documents through the Freedom of Information Act can add up quickly, sometimes costing thousands of dollars! Imagine that!
An executive editor recently shared that the average cost for these types of stories is just under $10,000. Yes, that’s right; that includes everything from staff time to the nitty-gritty research necessary to bring a story to life. It’s an investment aimed at making our community a better place, shining light into darker corners where things might be hidden away.
How You Can Help
If you believe in the importance of this type of journalism and want to play a part in making a difference, consider contributing to the fund. It’s easy to do! You can visit a specific website for further details, or if you prefer a more traditional route, you can send a check to the Community Foundation for the Central Savannah Area with “Investigative Fund” written on the memo line. Every dollar can help in the mission to uncover truth and promote accountability.
Let’s Rally Together!
So, as you enjoy this sunny day in North Augusta, remember the little ways you can contribute to the big picture. Whether it’s with your voice or a small donation, getting involved can lead to meaningful change in our community.
That’s all for now, North Augusta! Enjoy today’s sunshine, stay safe, and let’s keep our community informed and vibrant!
