Full membership is open to organizations actively publishing news that are based in North America.
Affiliate membership is for organizations that support nonprofit news and align with INN’s mission in
working to advance this type of journalism, but may not be publishers or fit regular membership
qualifications. Affiliate membership also can be appropriate for news publishers for which publishing
is only part of the organization’s broader mission, such as training student journalists, research, running
a journalism trade or collaboration group, or raising public awareness of an issue or topic. INN does not
accept cause communications or trade publications even if content is produced using journalism
techniques.
Provisional membership is available to some qualifying startups that want to join before they begin
publishing and for full members who pause active publishing for up to one year.
Editorial Independence & Transparency
Public trust in journalism is essential. To build and maintain trust, journalists and their organizations
must be truthful, transparent and independent in their reporting in order to best serve the public.
All INN members share a commitment to transparency and by becoming members, agree to publish policies
regarding fundraising, donations and conflict-of-interest on their websites, in an effort to maintain reader
trust. These policies must specify what kind of funding the publication will and won’t accept.
As an INN member, a publication agrees to:
Confirm its 501(c)(3) certified by the Internal Revenue Service or have a 501(c)(3) nonprofit fiscal
sponsor. Canadian publications and those based at universities with a different IRS status are invited to
consult with INN before applying. INN can provide fiscal sponsorship for qualifying journalism
nonprofits that are starting up or converting to nonprofit from for-profits.
Publish financial information publicly to a publication’s website and/or print product.
Identify all donors to the organization that give more than $5,000 in a year by publicly listing
them on the publication’s site and/or posting a link to 990 tax filings that identify donors of
$5,000 or more.
Post either full 990 filings, links to their 990, or equivalent budget, salary and donor information
on its web site where consumers can access it. In the case of fiscally sponsored organizations,
the member will post a link to its sponsor’s 990, and is encouraged to publish a breakout of its
own information.
Ensure that no more than 5 percent of its total annual budget derives from anonymous
donations.
Post an editorial independence policy.
If the publication has a fiscal sponsor or parent 501(c)3 organization, publicly disclose and
explain how the news project maintains editorial independence from its fiscal sponsor or parent,
and if or how donor funds are separated between the organizations.
Please write to info@inn.org with any questions regarding membership standards or applications.
