Chapter 16 is one of only a few nonprofit media outlets in the country dedicated to coverage of the arts.

“The Institute for Nonprofit News has more than two hundred member media organizations, from East Lansing Info, in Michigan, to MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, in Memphis. Most of them focus on investigative reporting; Chapter 16 is one of only a few nonprofit media outlets in the country dedicated to coverage of the arts. Initial and ongoing funding came from the National Endowment for the Humanities, but Chapter 16 is also an independent affiliate of the Library of Congress’s Center for the Book, which has promoted literacy and libraries since 1977. Most states decided to open a physical center, but Humanities Tennessee opted to do something different: theirs would be a virtual center, so that anyone in the state, regardless of Zip Code, could access it at any time.“
