MinnPost is part of a new network of nonprofit sites created to support what all of us do around the country and in particular to foster and showcase robust investigative reporting.

Agreement on the network was reached at a conference at Pocantico, the breathtaking Rockefeller family estate in Tarrytown, NY.  The Rockefeller Brothers Fund was the principal sponsor of the event.

I have agreed to serve on the steering committee for the new venture, which will be seeking a planning grant to get started.  You can read the document creating the network here.  I'm sure that numerous other sites, not represented at the meeting because of space limitations at the conference center, will also be involved.
