Strengthening Resilient Journalism Worldwide: Publix Partners with the MacArthur Foundation
Two years after opening the house, Publix is expanding its network of partners dedicated to journalism and civil society in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Europe to include a major international player: the U.S.-based MacArthur Foundation.
Non-profit and public value media organizations are under severe pressure worldwide. Strengthening their resilience means collaborating across borders. “The partnership with the MacArthur Foundation means expanding our work to support the journalism ecosystem internationally and connecting and strengthening media organizations that face similar challenges,” says Maria Exner, Executive Director of Publix.
Publix thanks Kathy Im, Director of MacArthur’s Journalism & Media Program, who helped shape this vision as an early thought partner, for joining us in Berlin to mark the launch of this partnership, and the MacArthur Foundation for its trust and investment in the next chapter of Publix.
