On The Media is produced by:
News organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to turn a profit, thus making non-profit news an increasingly attractive solution. Jim Barnett has been studying and blogging about non-profit journalism for 5 years and he says new organizations are springing up left and right.
ProPublica was funded with grants, we learn. Grants from whom? Seems like a useful piece of information that would be easy to include in the story.
http://www.propublica.org/about/ says the Sandler Family Supporting Foundation is their lead funding source. Wiki page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandler_Family_Supporting_Foundation
