Giving Tuesday: NewsMatch

It’s Giving Tuesday. But, here at WJCT, we’re also calling it Giving News Day.

That’s because NewsMatch, a national matching-gift campaign that drives donations to nonprofit newsrooms (like ours) around the country, will double your contribution up to $1,000. David McGowan, WJCT’s President & CEO joined us with more on how you can make your contribution count in a big way on Tuesday.
