Buzenberg to head Center for Public Integrity
Bill Buzenberg, my boss when I was running the Civic Journalism Initiative at Minnesota Public Radio, was just named Executive Director of the Center for Public Integrity, the nonpartisan, non-advocacy organization, which specializes in investigative journalism projects. It was started by Charles Lewis, who spoke at our Restoring the Trust conference about the role of nonprofits in journalism.
As the profits of commercial operations dip, there is more talk of the possible roles of nonprofits like the Center for Public Integrity. This might be the right time to be at the helm. The PJNet will be looking for partnership possibilities.
