Journalist Furlough Fund
The Journalist Furlough Fund (GoFundMe) is created by Seattle and Washington journalists who have been temporarily laid off or had their hours reduced across the U.S. amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Funds are being managed by Seattle Times journalist Paige Cornwell (pgcornwell @ gmail.com, Twitter @pgcornwell) and a list of recipients will be shared at the end of the fund-raiser. DONATE HERE.
