Rural Stations Seek Support in the Wake of Federal Cuts - Nieman Reports
Despite a surge in donations, stations like KAXE in Northern Minnesota still face an uncertain future.| Nieman Reports
I spent almost two decades in journalism, mostly doing long-form investigations for television in my native Poland. A few years ago, I decided to leave the TV station for a job as Google’s main trainer for the media in Central and Eastern Europe. My job involved running workshops for journalists, mainly on advanced search techniques, verification and fact-checking, and working with data, among other things. It was a pleasant experience but a fixed-term contract. When it ended, I had to figu...| Nieman Reports
This photograph happened while I was working on a story on Indigenous conservation in North Greenland. Qillaq Kristiansen is a narwhal hunter, one of the best in the community. To manage the narwhal population in a community that also subsists on them, he practices both cultural and ecological conservation by using the traditional methods of hunting by kayak and hand-thrown harpoons. I was out on the sea ice with Qillaq on the two days all spring when the sea ice conditions were favorable f...| Nieman Reports

As a journalist, I’ve written dozens of grant applications for stories and projects I wanted to pursue. I’ve been pretty effective, with perhaps a 25% success rate, if you look at the number of grants I received compared with the applications I submitted. My track record has improved as I build on what seems to work. But nothing taught me more about writing a winning grant application than reading 1,334 applications for media grants submitted for the Greater Good Science Center (GGSC) ini...| Nieman Reports

In the early 1980s, Benjamin Netanyahu made a splash as a telegenic young diplomat in Washington and at the United Nations, out to shape international opinion on Israel with his silver tongue and fluent English. He was a regular on ABC’s “Nightline” and the Sunday morning news talk shows, and kept a meticulous list of the country’s media elites, whom he courted assiduously. Forty years later, Netanyahu is Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, an embattled leader who has unle...| Nieman Reports
Since 2009, I’ve been photographing the Hutterite communities that dot the Canadian prairie provinces and northwestern United States, primarily in my home province of Manitoba, but also in Saskatchewan and Montana. The Hutterites, Anabaptists whose roots grew out of the Radical Reformation of the 16th century, practice community of goods, in which all property and material goods are shared amongst the entire colony. They are considered one of the most successful models of communal living in...| Nieman Reports
Claire Ricks likes to keep up with current events. She follows mainstream news websites and considers herself an avid newspaper reader. The 29-year-old had mostly regarded social media as a place for memes and cute animal videos until this spring, when she helped study a platform an increasing number of people are turning to for news: TikTok. Ricks, a student at the Harvard Extension School, was assisting with a research project developed by Ben Reininga, one of this piece’s co-authors. Bot...| Nieman Reports
In the 12 years since Radio Rozana’s first broadcast, founder Lina Chawaf has worked tirelessly to expand the outlet’s coverage of her native Syria. She was forced to flee the country in 2011 after former President Bashar Assad began cracking down on independent media in the wake of the Arab Spring, yet still managed to broadcast from neighboring Turkey with the help of grants from several Western aid groups. The outlet received a significant boost in 2024 when it was awarded a $120,000...| Nieman Reports
