People often ask me how sustainable Oklahoma Voice’s operations are. It’s a fair question in an ever-changing media landscape plagued by layoffs, publication closures and much uncertainty about the future of our industry.
We are fortunate to be part of States Newsroom. This nonprofit network has secured sustainable, recurring funding for the four core positions in our nonprofit newsroom, held by myself and reporters Barbara Hoberock, Nuria Martinez-Keel and Emma Murphy.
That support will ensure that we can continue to exist for years to come.
So where do you come in?
We share the belief that local involvement in our mission is crucial if we want to continue to grow.
One of my goals for the coming months is to add an additional reporter to our team so that Oklahoma Voice can bring you more news to fuel the conversations you are having with your family and elected officials.
In less than a year, we’ve seen a huge appetite for our stories. Thanks to your support, Oklahoma Voice stories were republished and cited hundreds of times during the four-month legislative session. They appeared in publications in this state and abroad.
Our content is always free to read. It is never behind a paywall. We do not accept advertisements. And you’ll never be inundated with annoying pop-ups.
We want everyone to have access to quality news that they can use.
So if you like our legislative coverage, please consider making a tax-deductible donation so we can continue to grow. Every little bit helps.
As always, thank you for your continued support and for being a reader.
