The advent of digital media means that many news organisations are re-thinking their business models, and facing new challenges. But one sector which has seen growth is the not-for-profit start up industry. This report examines the legal framework in which these operate in by studying the challenges thrown up by legal systems which don’t include journalistic activities within the concept of ‘charitable status’.Drawing on the regulatory systems of Australia, Canada, Ireland, The UK and The US, the report sets out to gain a clearer understanding of the legal frameworks for charitable and tax exempt status for news organisations and the distinct challenges that may hinder their development. |
