People Who Trust Us
[Modifier] sets a new standard for reporting conduct that should be taught in every journalism program, and proves that resources exist to help all publications make transformative changes for more inclusive and representative reporting practices and newsroom culture. No more excuses!
The leaders of Modifier are an inspiration to those of us who work in journalism collaboratives They helped me to think more deeply about how to build relationships with our community, including potential funders. And they helped me to dream big. The team is generous with their knowledge and passionate about what they do.
Our work with [Modifier] is helping us support the editorial mission of Capital B with an organizational foundation that will reflect our core values and allow us to build a first-of-its-kind newsroom. Their thoughtful counsel and targeted guidance has been invaluable during the early stages of building our nonprofit.
Modifier's advice and insights allowed us to not only understand our need for Operating Principles, but gave us the language to talk about these with our team and the building blocks to develop our own. Their advice and resources were people-centered and practical. It's rare to find an organization that shares your values, practices what they preach, and executes so successfully on its desire to help other organizations.
Community engagement was a major goal of Qnotes’ OUTlook project and the individual coaching from [Modifier] was extremely productive. They helped us conceptualize and put on our very first Qnotes Connect event which had over 45 people in attendance, as opposed to only a handful at previous events. Our reporters did mini-interviews throughout the night and we had nine story ideas come out of the event. Qnotes Connect events continue quarterly now and they’ve been a great way to build trust in the LGBTQ+ community.
It was super helpful to hear from [Modifier's] in-depth experiences as trusted journalism collaborative managers with a growing track record of success. Plus, they had some good insights for the circumstances we face in our own state, despite being in a different part of the country. It's awesome to know they exist — and that they exist to help other organizations like ours get better at what we do.
