Nonprofits are one of the fastest-growing segments of the news industry, and the most-successful organizations are filling gaps in local news ecosystems and serving communities that commercial outlets can no longer afford to serve. But at its core, "nonprofit" is a tax status, not a business model. Nonprofits face the same revenue challenges as their commercial counterparts - and a host of other challenges unique to their legal status. This course will explore the growth in the space; outline the challenges; and teach the basics of the business and economics of nonprofit management.
