It's not too late, friends.
A quick example of our work: We distributed $25k in 2025 for stipends to get journalists to trainings and conferences. Boom. That's impact.
Help us do more in 2026! We're ramping up our community work and every dollar helps us bring more resources to journalists.

It's Giving Tuesday, and that means telling the truth. @opennews.bsky.social has given me so much that I devoted my career to it.
We want to build the best damn journalist (with a "t") support org we can.
We did a ton to get closer to that in 2025. We can't wait for 2026. Your help is crucial.

The SRCCON 2025 schedule is live! And this time it features an "unconference" session block on day 2.
We know you'll have so much to discuss in the moment with new and old friends that we set aside a time for you to get organized before you leave.
