Anti-Nuke Charity Funds CNN Reporter Covering Nuclear Issues
The Outrider Foundation, a charity opposing nuclear weapons, is funding a CNN reporter who covers nuclear issues. The foundation, based in Madison, Wisconsin, and funded by Democratic donor Frank Burgess, describes itself as a non-political, nonpartisan organization focused on educating the public about nuclear security threats and climate issues. The partnership between the Outrider Foundation and Journalism Funding Partners supports Davis Winkie, a CNN reporter and Senior Fellow covering national security and nuclear threats. Despite the financial support, CNN maintains full editorial control over its reporting. This arrangement highlights the financial challenges faced by news organizations, which increasingly rely on external funding to support their journalism.
