"Facebook's support will bring added reporting to people in hundreds of communities and states where nonprofit news outlets have become the central information providers during this crisis," said Sue Cross, INN executive director and CEO. "We are seeing brave and creative coverage by so many journalists, and with Facebook's help they can expand their reporting as a public service."
