<div>November 2016
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stay woke!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That rallying cry took on added urgency in November, not only with the election of Donald J. Trump, but with the passing of Gwen Ifill, a truth-teller who, like fellow journalist George Curry, left us this year with daunting journalistic shoes to fill.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Reports tell us that some news organizations are seeing huge spikes in donations and subscriptions as readers look to support newsrooms that hold Trump accountable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That's a good thing. But we also must hold newsrooms accountable, especially on issues of diversity and inclusion.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Richard Prince's Journal-isms" has sought to fill that role since 1991. It calls out the media when warranted; it lets news consumers know of best practices; it encourages our journalists of color and others who care about accurate and fair coverage. It tries to make sense of our new political and media reality.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Journal-isms" received a heartwarming outpouring of support this year when readers came forward with ideas, suggestions and assistance as it was steered unexpectedly toward an independent path. A strategy committee evaluated business models and continues to do so.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now it needs financial support to continue its mission. The new business entity "Richard Prince's Journal-isms" will be accepting gifts or loans that will help us in the media "stay woke."
