Billionaire philanthropist Judith Neilson’s bid to save journalism is ready to be revived after a year of turmoil.
Billionaire philanthropist Judith Neilson’s bid to save journalism is ready to be revived after a year of turmoil which cast doubt over the future of her $100 million pledge to fund new media projects.
The institute’s current board has five members: Neilson, her daughter, Freeman, Appleby, and Edward Jewell-Tait, a banker also involved with the Neilson Family Office and is the director at Neilson’s White Rabbit Gallery.Once the strategic plan gets the tick of approval next week, the board will appoint a new executive director and a new team, whose role will be to ensure the institute sticks to its course and upholds its values, Freeman said.
The institute’s funding will focus on local and community storytelling, independent freelance reporting, investigative and collaborative type projects, he added. Freeman declined to set a time limit on when the institute will fully return to action and fulfil its funding pledge.
