This Is Journalism: Give to Who We Are

We think it's time we're incredibly clear about who we are and what we do as journalists, which is why we love our #ThisIsJournalism campaign. In the face of misinformation, disinformation, confusion and a rhetoric that discredits the press at every turn, RTDNA is here to help share the story of journalism and those who practice the craft with passion, care and credibility.

Your generous gift allows us to continue our important work as an association and foundation: providing education around the country to empower more journalists with the tools they need to be successful, awarding scholarships and fellowships to help grow and strengthen the next generation of journalists, recognizing outstanding excellence in journalism with our Edward R. Murrow Awards, and advocating for journalism, the First Amendment, and a free and vibrant press at all levels.

Give to your passion by funding an area of your choice:
