SUPPORT LOCAL NEWS

ABOUT THE AJP

The American Journalism Project is a new venture philanthropy organization dedicated to local news. By providing course-altering investments and venture support to civic news organizations, we are building a new public service media that is governed by, sustained by and looks like the public it serves.

The economics that supported the news industry for most of the twentieth century are no longer viable. As a result, the civic function news provides is under threat. The American Journalism Project was founded to help combat this threat. In other sectors, venture philanthropy has created sustainable new ecosystems that fill gaps left by the market.

PROTECT FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

ABOUT THE CPJ

The Committee to Protect Journalists promotes press freedom worldwide and defends the right of journalists to report the news safely and without fear of reprisal. CPJ protects the free flow of news and commentary by taking action wherever journalists are under threat.

Every year, hundreds of journalists are attacked, imprisoned, or killed. For more than 30 years, CPJ has been there to defend them and fight for press freedom.

About The Video

In light of Airfoil's 20th Anniversary we want to bring positive attention to the unique and increasingly important role that journalists play in our culture and democracy. Information and transparency are necessary for public education, decision making, and understanding; in addition to giving voice to different and opposing points of view and a means for story telling. We also want to promote news literacy through supporting organizations including The American Journalism Project and The Committee to Protect Journalists. 

Airfoil partnered with the creative team at Eightfold to bring our vision to life.
