I'm hearing a lot from the media NGO sector about the impact of USAID cuts. A lot of small investigative media organisations across the globe are facing imminent closure as the funding they've budget for has vanished overnight, and the funder community has no capacity to absorb the shock.

“If you ask people ‘are you interested in your place in the world? Do you want to understand the world?’ Everyone says yes. ... They’re going to [news] for sense-making, I think. And there’s nothing on the shelf” Shirish Kulkarni tells Neel Dhanesha @niemanlab.org www.niemanlab.org/2025/02/the-...
The BBC asked marginalized groups how it could do better. They didn’t hold back.
