Judging from the size and engagement of the Nieman Lab audience, you care a lot about innovation in journalism and media. In this new year, we recommit to our mission, reporting on the future of journalism in order to help those of you who care about an informed public figure out the paths forward.

If you value what we do here — our reporting, our Twitter feed, our daily email — the best way to support it is to give to our parent organization, the Nieman Foundation. In addition to the Lab, the foundation is home to our sister publications (Nieman Reports and Nieman Storyboard) and, most notably, the Nieman Fellowships, which have given many hundreds of journalists up to a year to study at Harvard or to work on a specific journalism project.

Funding for Nieman has come primarily from the generosity of our donors. And thanks to the generosity of the Knight Foundation and its Knight News Match program, individual gifts between now and January 19 will have double the usual impact. Give any amount up to $1,000 by that date and Knight will match it — meaning your dollar will go twice as far.

Many news organizations have seen increases in subscriptions and gifts, as more people realize the value in the journalism they read (often for free) online. If what we do here has informed you — if original reporting on the latest in journalism innovation is important to you — please contribute today or by January 19, knowing Knight will double your impact. To donate, go here. And thank you.
