Leslie David is BenitoLink’s executive director.
BenitoLink can continue to serve its readers with the kind of public service news San Benito County needs, as residents do their best to handle COVID-19 as a community. San Benito’s local nonprofit news provider was granted $5,000 from Facebook, Lenfest Institute and several other local news funders, allowing us to continue giving our readers essential information. Acting swiftly, multiple foundations collaborated on the effort to strengthen local news by offering quick funds to 400 newsrooms so they could immediately put to use their COVID-19 reporting grants. Another round of funding was announced April 13, promising more support for local coronavirus-related reporting and news operations throughout North America.
“We are seeing spikes in engagement in local news since the spread of COVID-19,” said Josh Mabry, Facebook local news partnerships lead, on a call to BenitoLink from New York City on April 9. “People are suddenly referring to local news because they want to know their families are safe.”
Mabry is right, BenitoLink readership grew during the peak of the virus, going from an average of 30,000 readers a month to just under 45,000. Facebook’s Mabry thanked BenitoLink staff directly for its “community service” saying that in times like these, people realize that “dependable local information is critically needed.” Recent research shows that readers tend to trust their local news more than national or regional news.
The Lenfest Institute, in partnership with the Facebook Journalism Project (FJP), Local Media Association, News Media Canada, and The Independent News Challenge announced that 400 North American local news organizations would receive grants to support their coronavirus reporting. BenitoLink confirmed a few days later that the local nonprofit news site is one of the 400.
The grant was great news to the BenitoLink staff and reporters. Since the coronavirus appeared in the county, BenitoLink team members have put in long hours and pulled together massive amounts of information on health safety, locations where essential items could be found, and promptly helped local businesses and nonprofits announce the cancellation or postponement of numerous events. BenitoLink was busting past its monthly story budget with information that had to be shared. Because of the grants, small newsrooms like BenitoLink can continue doing their work and serving their communities, instead of cutting back due to lack of support.
“When the crisis started to pop and the pandemic became clear,” Mabry said, “we expanded our funding and others joined in. We know local news providers are hurting, advertising is dropping, but the need has never been greater. We just want Facebook to be part of the solution.”
Mabry, who is running the massive effort for Facebook, worked in local tv for 12 years in his hometown of Topeka, Kansas. He said he remembers the job means “wearing a lot of hats” and that Facebook wants to help news keep “telling local stories.”
The Facebook Journalism Project Community Network is sending out funds to publishers located in 48 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and several provinces and territories in Canada. The $5,000 grant is to cover unexpected costs associated with reporting on the coronavirus outbreak in their communities.
The grant approval mentions more local news funding will be offered: “The Facebook Journalism Project doubled the total grant pool to $2 million after more than 200 publishers applied in the first 48 hours after the application launched. The expansion made it possible to help an even greater number of newsrooms navigate the economic impact of the outbreak. The grants will help fulfill needs such as remote work, increasing frequency of publishing, combating misinformation and serving vulnerable and at-risk groups.”
The following is a list of the 400 local news providers that received the first round of COVID-19 reporting grants.
