Solutions journalism strategy helps raise $7,525 in donor support

Flint Beat in Michigan expanded its newsroom capacity and focused on making solutions journalism a core part of its mission. This helped raise $7,525 from major donors from the city of Flint and beyond. A membership program is currently being launched, with the aim of tapping an audience that has repeatedly expressed support for the newsroom's journalism, which marries accountability with trying to understand what works for the city.
