The Creator Journalism Trust and Credibility Toolkit
This eight-part toolkit provides step-by-step guidance and best practices for funders looking to support creator journalists as part of their local information ecosystems. Created in partnership with Trusting News and Project C with local funders in mind, the toolkit includes sections on identifying credible creators, partnership guides, ethics checklists, transparency guidance, and case studies and research on why philanthropy should be active in this space.
We recommend starting with the one-page Creator Journalism Trust Framework before diving into the toolkit.
Use This Guide To:
- Understand why creator journalists are an important part of local news ecosystems
