ABSTRACT As news startups grow and mainstream news continues to struggle, the debate about whether journalism’s future is entrepreneurial or philanthropic has intensified. Still, most of the research is in the form of case studies using metrics that aren’t comparable. This study offers a systematic approach to examining finances of news non-profits in the U.S. to explore levels of entrepreneurial and philanthropic funding. I find that few news non-profits so far earn significant revenue outside of donations.

创业与慈善：市场能为新闻行业的创新提供资金吗？

摘要随着新闻初创企业的成长和主流新闻的不断挣扎，关于新闻业的未来是企业家还是慈善事业的争论日益激烈。尽管如此，大多数研究还是采用案例研究的形式，这些案例使用的指标不可比。这项研究为检查美国新闻非营利组织的财务状况提供了系统的方法，以探索企业和慈善基金的水平。我发现，到目前为止，几乎没有新闻非营利组织能从捐赠中获得可观的收入。
