Lessons learned from a year of grantmaking to community-based news organizations

Grant comes as new polling shows strong interest in news coverage on climate solutions

Morning Consult ran a survey, on behalf of the Walton Family Foundation, focusing on how voters are consuming news on climate change, how the news on climate change is making them feel, and what their preferences are for stories around climate change. The survey finds that voters agree journalists have a duty to increase global understanding of climate change and that nearly all voters want more coverage on protecting water sources, extreme weather, and climate change’s impact on food supplies.
