#GivingNewsday is next week; Poynter to give donation tips for publications in webinar at 3:30 p.m. ET today

The Poynter Institute will host a free webinar at 3:30 p.m. ET today to help news organizations maximize donations on May 5 for #GivingNewsday.

Giving Tuesday traditionally promotes charitable donations the week after Thanksgiving, but the organizers have announced an extra May 5 observance this year: #GivingTuesdayNow, meant to help those who have been economically impacted by covid-19.

Many in the news media have capitalized on that by calling it #GivingNewsday, in order to call attention to the pandemic's affect on advertising revenue and hopefully attract new subscribers, donors, and financial supporters of local news.
