Partnership: Document Extract: The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has provided a $ 2.5 million investment to further extend the DODS program's reach and impact. This support will enable the launch of an Online Marketplace featuring a concierge help desk for publishers, an RJI Learning Center with curated content, training, and best practices, and expanded access to on-demand development and technical consulting resources from LMC. Many local newsrooms do not have the technical resources needed to address the pace of change and complexities needed to accelerate their digital businesses. A 2022 survey of LMC members found 64 % of local media companies have less than three internal digital development resources, and more than one-third (36 %) have no internal digital development resources at all. Launched in 2022 with funds for a pilot from the Google News Initiative, DODS provides local media companies with lower-cost access to developers and technical consulting services.
