Crowdfunding's progress in journalism

Journalism projects drew more than $1.74 million on Kickstarter in the first nine months of 2015, and about $6.3 million between 2009 and 2015, for a total of 658 fully funded projects, a new Pew report says. Laura Hazard Owen writes that "the bulk of the funded projects (71 percent) are still coming from 'individuals not tied to any journalistic organization,' either alone or in small groups, Pew found." More from Benjamin Mullin.
