Smaller publishers also have access to the Media Resilience Fund, which offers low-interest, flexible loans. Operated by URL Media, Rebuild Local News and the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, the fund received $1.25 million from Press Forward.
Earlier this year, MasTV/El Planeta received a $100,000 loan through that program to diversify revenue and strengthen operations.
Together, the initiatives broaden the financing options available to local publishers seeking to invest in growth and long-term sustainability.
