关于Press Forward资助申请的报告显示，非营利新闻编辑部被优先考虑，但批评者警告说，这有可能削弱营利性媒体和创新。 A report on Press Forward's grant applications shows nonprofit newsrooms are prioritized, but critics warn this risks undermining for-profit outlets and innovation.

一份关于向Press Forward（承诺为地方新闻提供超过5亿美元）的559份资助申请的新报告显示，重点关注非营利新闻编辑部、大学和图书馆，强调基础设施需求及向服务导向新闻的转变。 A new report on 559 grant applications to Press Forward, a philanthropy coalition that pledged over $500 million for local journalism, reveals a focus on nonprofit newsrooms, universities, and libraries, highlighting infrastructure needs and a shift toward service-oriented journalism. 然而,批评者认为数据是扭曲的,因为大多数幸存的当地新闻社都是盈利的,雇用了20,000多名记者,创造了300亿美元的收入。 However, critics argue the data is skewed, as most surviving local news outlets are for-profit, employing over 20,000 journalists and generating $30 billion in revenue. 关切包括长期慈善事业的不现实假设、可能缺乏独立性以及缩小筹资战略的风险,因为非营利模式可能会阻碍与商业企业相比的创新。 Concerns include the unrealistic assumption of long-term philanthropy, potential lack of independence, and the risk of narrowing funding strategies, as nonprofit models may discourage innovation compared to commercial ventures. 报告强调,需要提供更广泛的支持,解决当地新闻危机的全面问题。 The report underscores the need for broader support to address the full scope of the local journalism crisis.
