  • Texas Tribune shows non-profit doesn’t mean non-growth | GigaOM
    The nonprofit Texas Tribune turns one year old. “There are plenty of bad-news stories in the media industry, so it’s nice to hear from a company that is not only beating its revenue and traffic targets, but seeing what it calls ‘hockey stick’ growth.”
  • Center for Public Integrity absorbs Huffington Post Investigative Fund | Editors Weblog
    “The merger would bring the number of people who work at the center to 50 employees, turning it into one of the largest nonprofit investigative newsrooms in the United States.”
  • Investigative journalism is finding its place online | Poynter
