Good morning! @AlisonSBarrett from @CroakeyNews here.

The inaugural #CroakeyFundingDrive officially kicks off today with a week-long program of activities.

We will be tweeting from @WePublicHealth during the week to share why supporting public interest journalism is important.

Firstly, I would like to acknowledge that I live and work on the lands of the Kaurna people & pay my respects to Elders past and present – AB.

Today, we would like to thank Croakey supporters.

We will be sharing and acknowledging the work of our funding consortium members throughout the day – AB.

Tuesday will have a focus on #ResearchTranslation and public interest journalism.

On Friday, we invite you to share your favourite pet pictures & we will publish a compilation of #PetsOfCroakey.

Here's one of my Shadow pup for inspiration – AB.

We need your help to continue our public interest journalism with a focus on health equity.

The funding environment for public interest journalism is precarious.
