Public service journalism
Reporting done in the public interest
Public service journalism, or public service media, or public service internet, is when mission-driven organizations report the news and have editorial independence from governments (unlike state media) and for-profit companies.[1][2]
Public service outlets place more emphasis on public-interest reporting such as investigative journalism.[3] In the United States, many struggling for-profit newspapers and radio stations have transformed into nonprofits in order to continue to serve their constituents with the help of new funding streams like foundation grants.[4]
