  • Giving Begins at (The) Home(Page) Local News and Charities
    The Future of Local News: Research and Reflections © 2018 Ryerson Journalism Research Centre ​ Licensed under Creative Commons Licence C​ C BY-ND 2.5 CA Giving begins at (the) home(page) Local news and charities Joyce Smith Ryerson University Abstract This paper considers the ways in which local news outlets have operated as important conduits for charitable works in their communities (with a focus on Toronto), and how this role may be changing alongside the restructuring of the local news ecosystem. A short history of news publishers as reporters and publicists of charities are examined. As well, a consideration of the ways in which some outlets created their own charitable campaigns such as summer camp funds, Christmas toy drives, and food bank collections is included. Among the hypotheses suggested is the possibility that newspapers lent legitimacy to religious organizations by supporting charitable works before serving as a pivot point for the creation of a secular welfare state. And finally, that local news outlets are now using philanthropic projects in part to shore up their own status as community actors while preserving their consumer base. Keywords local news, charity, newspapers, journalism Introduction Public journalism long has served neighbourhoods as a key generator of social networks, capital, and civic engagement. As part of local community life, charities and volunteer organizations are also obvious players in these sectors. Traditionally, charitable works have intersected with news outlets in their roles as instigators,

    JEWISH FEDERATION OF GREATER PHILADELPHIA 2020 Impact Report I am proud to present you with the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s 2020 Impact Report, a detailed account of the support we provide to our communities in light of the extraordinary challenges we are facing, from the COVID-related issues of food insecurity, isolation, financial hardships, mental health and wellness, the escalation of anti-Semitism, and the racial inequities throughout our region. It covers an update about our current work, as well as the Annual Report of the previous fiscal year, September 1, 2018 - August 31, 2019. For more than 119 years, the Jewish Federation has provided an infrastructure of support for Jewish people and organizations in need. Our role as the leading safety net funder of Jewish services in the Greater Philadelphia area, and among the top funders of Greater Philadelphia philanthropic organizations serving all members of our community, has enabled us to mobilize quickly in response to the COVID-19 crisis. So far this year, we have raised and leveraged $2.1 million for emergency relief efforts in addition to the nearly $50 million resourced into our community through our grant making processes, rent subsidies, and partnership with the Foundation for Jewish Day Schools. Given the unique needs of today, Jewish Community Fund dollars are being released to our partner agencies as general operating grants in lieu of program grants to allow flexibility in planning and to support each agency’s greatest demands. At the start of the pandemic in mid-March, our Emergency Response Committee immediately activated.
