Investigative journalism has always faced a resource crisis. The reporting, particularly cross-border collaborations on complex issues, is expensive, unpredictable, and often dangerous, and requires significant resources. It’s also legally dangerous and any story that is published can represent significant and even existential threats.
Investigative reporting has relied on government and institutional funding to survive but the fundamental framework has been changing. The U.S. and some European governments have threatened to curtail media by attacking funding and the non-profit status of donors and journalism outlets, “Soros-ing” foundations that support this space, and enacting plaintiff-friendly libel laws. We’ve entered what is shaping up to be a very toxic era for investigative journalism. What should you be worried about as a donor or media organization? Where do the threats lie? What are things you can do today to harden yourself now and for the future? How do we survive in the media space in 10 years without compromising our mission?

Palazzo Graziani (Perugia)
Costruzione di origine medioevale Palazzo Graziani è stato sottoposto ad interventi che nel corso dei secoli ne hanno modificato ed ampliato la struttura. Situato in Corso Vannucci, l’immobile è sede della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio ed ora anche della nuova Fondazione CARIPERUGIA ARTE. Nel 1895 Annibale Brugnoli realizzò quattro grandi quadri ad olio sulle pareti e quattro grandi dipinti murali sulla volta di quello che successivamente venne chiamato “Salone del Brugnoli”, ancora oggi la sala di maggior pregio dell’intero complesso.
