If everyone could go on mute, that would be great. Thanks.

"leadership commitment to continued investment" ... of money? reporter resources? something else?

Climate reporting

We’re looking for partners who are passionate about climate reporting and will allocate the appropriate resources.

Do you have a lower budget limit or size for news orgs you would consider funding?

We are committed to mix of media types and size of organizations

Yale/Mason Climate Change in the American Mind survey project: https://www.climatechangecommunication.org/climate-change-in-the-american-mind/

Can you explain how you define “regional” vs “local”?

Yale Climate Opinion Maps (localized public opinion data): https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/visualizations-data/ycom-us/

Can you say more about the expected reporter funding levels and timeline, please?

Are you considering audience size when you review applications?

/do you prefer newsrooms with larger audiences

what is the anticipated start date of the collaborative?

Do you foresee the funding going to support a current reporter on staff or to actually hiring a new reporter?

Funders rarely support existing staff - usually needs to be new reporters.

Are you interested in collaborative allocations?

@Drew: yes, leadership commitment is both to reporting…and support for the time that takes
