Sustainability Workshop (1): Startups, Nonprofits, and Running a Business

This morning workshop is for start-ups, nonprofits, and new media on the business practices and revenue models underlying successful investigative journalism enterprises. Our trainers will explain how to craft a fundraising strategy, diversify revenue, build a business plan, and make your organization sustainable. We will feature case studies by some of the most innovative and entreprenurial initiatives by investigative journalists across Asia. Find out how Korea's Newstapa attracted 30,000 dues-paying members with video, how Malaysiakini built their own offices with supporters' backing, how India's Centre for Investigative Journalism is growing a health data enterprise, and more ideas from IndiaSpend, Meduza, the Philippines' Rappler, and others.
