How to make a donation to The Journalist’s Resource

The work of journalists is more important than ever. The Journalist’s Resource relies entirely on the generosity of our donors to fund our website, webinars and other related activities. Your tax-deductible donation can help sustain us in our ongoing mission to improve and inform the news. There are multiple ways you can donate.
