Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The chief financial officer, the chief operating officer and the ceo review the form 990 for the organization. The form 990 is then passed for review to the board of directors before the form 990 is filed.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“A conflict of interest policy was adopted by the board of directors at an annual meeting. The conflict of interest policy is distributed annually and signed by the officers, board members and all employees. In the annual notification the organization's employees are asked that any conflicts be disclosed immediately to the compliance officer or the ceo and are reminded to adhere to the policy. For ongoing monitoring purposes, all staff are asked to be cognizant of such activity and to be given the opportunity to report a conflict anonymously to the compliance officer, should a particular event arise.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The independent members of the organization's board of directors reviewed the ny salary data set in the guidestar annual non profit compensation report to evaluate compensation levels for all officers and key employees of the organization. In addition, the independent members of the board of directors reviewed salary offers made to certain key employees and officers in determining the appropriate level of compensation for those employees and officers. Following a review of the aforementioned data and inputs, compensation for selected key employees and officers of the organization was discussed and set in an executive session meeting of the independent members of the board of directors.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The financial statements and annual tax returns are available on the website.”

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“No change from the prior year.”

Form 990, Part I, Line 8 and 18

“The donated services were removed from prior year revenue and expense.”

FORM 990, SCHEDULE A, PART II:

“Solutions journalism network inc has updated its public support schedule in part ii from prior year filings to more accurately reflect its qualifications as a public charity under the section 509(a)(1) test.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501 (c)(3) of the internal revenue code and applicable state law. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position, including its tax-exempt status, only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the year ended december 31, 2016 and december 31, 2015.”

IRS990/Desc0PRACTICE CHANGE - FELLOWSHIPS: THE ORGANIZATION OCCASIONALLY SELECTS PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS TO PARTICIPATE IN WORKSHOPS FOCUSED ON SOLUTIONS-ORIENTED COVERAGE OF SPECIFIC ISSUES, AND THEN SUPPORTS REPORTING PROJECTS BY THOSE JOURNALISTS. THE FIRST SUCH PROGRAM, FOCUSED ON COVERAGE OF VIOLENCE, LAUNCHED IN SEPTEMBER 2015 WITH 25 JOURNALIST PARTICIPANTS AT A SYMPOSIUM CO-HOSTED WITH THE JOHN JAY SCHOOL OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE AT THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK. THE SECOND COHORT FOCUSED ON EDUCATION COVERAGE, BROUGHT TOGETHER 20 JOURNALISTS FOR A TWO-DAY WORKSHOP IN SEATTLE IN JANUARY 2016.NEWSROOM INITIATIVES: THE ORGANIZATION FORGES RELATIONSHIPS DESIGNED TO CATALYZE AND SUSTAIN THE PRACTICE OF SOLUTIONS JOURNALISM IN NEWS ORGANIZATIONS. IN MANY CASES IT CULTIVATES COLLABORATIONS, LASTING FOUR TO SIX MONTHS ON AVERAGE, TO PRODUCE HIGH-IMPACT SOLUTIONS-FOCUSED REPORTING PROJECTS. IT HAS COMPLETED OVER TWO DOZEN SUCH RELATIONSHIPS WITH LEADING NEWS OUTLETS SUCH AS THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL-SENTINEL AND THE PBS NEWS HOUR. IT CURRENTLY SUSTAINS ENGAGEMENTS WITH OTHER LEADING NEWS ORGANIZATIONS, SUCH AS THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, WNYC AND THE MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE.THESE COLLABORATIONS TYPICALLY BEGIN WITH A WORKSHOP INTRODUCING NEWSROOM STAFF TO THE SOLUTIONS APPROACH. THE ORGANIZATION THEN PROVIDES RESEARCH AND EDITORIAL CONSULTING SUPPORT TO REPORTERS, PRODUCERS, AND EDITORS. IN MANY CASES, THE ORGANIZATION ALSO OFFERS MODEST FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO SUPPORT REPORTER TRAVEL AND OTHER HIGH-VALUE ACTIVITIES. IN 2015, THE ORGANIZATION SUPPORTED PROJECTS FOCUSED ON VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND HEALTH CARE. IN 2016 AND AT PRESENT IT IS WORKING ON PROJECTS ON EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY VITALITY.SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS: IN CERTAIN CASES THAT PROMISE TO GENERATE GREAT VISIBILITY, IMPACT, AND LEARNING, THE ORGANIZATION INVESTS IN LONGER-TERM, HIGHER IMPACT NEWSROOMS PROJECTS. IN 2016, IT EXTENDED ITS "EDUCATION LAB" COLLABORATION WITH THE SEATTLE TIMES FOR A FOURTH YEAR. "EDUCATION LAB" HAS GENERATED DOZENS OF PROMINENT FEATURE STORIES, HUNDREDS OF BLOG POSTS AND INTERACTIVE FEATURES, AND A SERIES OF LIVE EVENTS - WHICH TOGETHER HAVE INCREASED AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT AROUND EDUCATION ISSUES. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO HAS SUPPORTED HONEYGUIDE MEDIA, A START-UP ONLINE NEWS ORGANIZATION THAT PRODUCES SOLUTIONS-ORIENTED COVERAGE OF EDUCATION, HEALTH, AND INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ISSUES.
