"Amid Trump-era funding turmoil, foundations are finding themselves pulled in many directions to fill in the gaps."
"In July, the anthropology magazine Sapiens announced that it would stop publishing by the end of 2025. The magazine’s funder, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, had decided to end funding, citing the increasing need for support from the research community and the loss of the University of Chicago Press as their publishing partner, which had provided marketing and administrative support.
“As demand for our support soars, we must direct our full resources to sustaining anthropological research and safeguarding the careers of scholars and students in truly precarious positions,” the foundation wrote in a statement explaining the decision.
The announcement left the science journalism community reeling. “There aren’t many publications that are focused on social sciences in general, or on anthropology, and to lose Sapiens — it was a blow,” said Siri Carpenter, co-founder, executive director, and editor-in-chief of The Open Notebook, a nonprofit organization and publication that covers the craft of science writing."
