For Newsrooms
Evaluate your newsroom's tool stack. Free for nonprofit newsrooms.
What we offer
A full tool stack evaluation for small and nonprofit newsrooms. We assess every tool your team uses against our published methodology.
Security assessment
Encryption, data handling, authentication, audit history. Every tool your team touches, evaluated.
Ownership audit
Who owns each tool. How they make money. What happens to your data. Corporate structure and acquisition history.
Programs identification
Free and discounted tools your newsroom qualifies for. Most small newsrooms leave thousands of dollars on the table.
Practical recommendations
Settings to change, alternatives to consider, mitigations for tools you can't replace. Actionable, not theoretical.

tools the average journalist uses daily, unevaluated
Large newsrooms have IT departments and security teams. Small and nonprofit newsrooms don't. Their journalists use the same tools with none of the oversight. That's the gap we fill.

1Password for journalists. Free. LinkedIn Premium for reporters. Free. Google Workspace for nonprofits. Free. Adobe Creative Cloud at 60% off. We've verified 34 nonprofit programs so far — most newsrooms qualify for several.
