Founding Director & Editor-In-Chief

June 12, 2025 (Updated )

This month, Journo Resources turns nine — and we want to use the opportunity to build something better, something hopeful. That’s why we’re running 10 Reasons To Be Hopeful: a pledge of 10 resources we’ll create before we turn 10 in Summer 2026 and a manifesto for change, to create a more equitable journalism industry. 

Through discussions with our community during the past year, we’ve come up with nine ideas we’re going to build, which we’ll reveal during the course of the next month. But, in order to make them happen, we need your help.

  • We need the support of 100 new members to fund our work and make these projects happen. As a small social enterprise which receives no grant funding, this is vital to our sustainably. Pledge your support today and become part of a community of people making the journalism industry a better, more equitable place.
  • We need your ideas for our 10th resource. While we’ve come up with nine already, we’ve left the final spot open for your boldest ideas — make sure to let us know what you’d like us to make before we turn 10 before 23.59pm on June 30.
