“In this announcement from Axios, I’m committing $7 million to support nonprofit journalism, with a focus on strengthening investigative reporting and digital storytelling in communities that need it most. This work is about helping journalists do what they do best — hold power accountable, tell stories that matter, and give people the information they need to engage with the world around them.
For me, this isn’t about headlines or accolades; it’s about making sure high-quality, independent journalism can continue to thrive, especially in places where local news has disappeared. By supporting new reporting models, video storytelling, and investigative collaborations, I hope to make a small contribution to a healthier, more informed civic life.”
