After the introductory session on the principles and foundations of impact journalism, followed by an in-depth look at tools to measure the social impact of news and the “stories that make a difference,” we continue with the fourth webinar titled “Economic Sustainability of Impact Journalism,” which will be held on Monday, December 2, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM.

The webinar will focus on the economic challenges and potential solutions for financially sustaining a newsroom with impact-driven logic. This includes discussions on innovative funding models such as tenders, crowdfunding, and strategic partnerships, through concrete examples and case studies.

The course will also focus on building an impact journalism newsroom from scratch, encouraging active community participation, and demonstrating how journalism can be used to address local challenges, raise awareness, and inspire concrete actions for positive social change.

This course is part of a series of webinars within the Torino Impact Journalism initiative, which aims to explore the role of information in the era of the impact economy. The initiative, supported by Social Impact Agenda for Italy, delves into how journalism can truly contribute to promoting change in a context where all societal actors, from institutions to businesses, are called to act in response to the major environmental and social challenges.

The webinar will be an integral part of the training courses offered by the Order of Journalists and is aimed at both professionals and anyone interested in exploring the world of impact journalism and communication!

Working languages: Italian/English

In the coming days, we will share stories from the guests who will bring their experiences to the webinar.
