EMPOWERING NONPROFIT LOCAL NEWS MEDIA TO ILLUMINATE THE PROCESSES, OUTCOMES AND IMPACT OF SERVICE INNOVATION ON PEOPLE, ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES THROUGH DATA JOURNALISM AND SOLUTIONS STORYTELLING

This website is incomplete, and its final structure and content will reflect the goals and objectives of a new funding, impact investing and community reinvestment collaborative, which is forming to create a Philanthropic Service Innovation Ecosystem. The completed website can also align with and advance a new AI Collab program developed by the International Society of Service Innovation Professionals: https://issip.org/2026-spring-aicollab-student-ceos/    

Education Industry Network (EIN) began as an academic project sponsored by SectorForce, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business, collaborating with two teams of information technology students at San Jose State University and the International Society of Service Innovation Professionals. 

The project included a strategy for subject matter experts to share knowledge through digital twin technology. EIN has journalistic roots in an article published in Government Technology Magazine in 2010: Empowering Rural Entrepreneurship - A New Model Emerges

EIN has now transitioned into a social enterprise, which will apply the Service-Dominant Logic and empower students to play vital roles in the co-creation of social sector partnerships. 

EIN will also explore ways to advance the transfer, licensing and commercialization of public interest technology. The objective is to accelerate the transformation of scientific service research insights into actionable knowledge and services.

One of the EIN student team leaders at San Jose State University is a Marine Corps veteran. EIN is consequently exploring ways to involve and support the intended beneficiaries of the Veteran Success Centers located on each of the 23 campuses of California State University.

All higher educations institutions interested in expanding their support for military veterans and their families can participate through "Veterans at Work", an expansion plan designed to advance Vetrepreneurship and Journalist Entrepreneurship in each state.

EIN welcomes the participation of the public health, education, workforce and library systems and those they serve. 

PIP is guided by three interrelated publications. With grateful attribution to the authors, we recommend: “Service in the AI Era” - “Power to the Public - the Promise of Public Interest Technology” - “Responsible Tech Playbook 2025”

Public interest journalists, technologists and others can harness the collaborative power of the pen and use these and other resources to create the content required to convey the essence of the diverse topics covered in these publications, explain their potential societal benefits and provide solutions stories that illuminate their impact.

Media collaborators may include: philanthropies, nonprofit organizations, education institutions, the corporate sector and the associations and other membership groups that serve them, along with law firms, legal aid societies, digital marketing and advertising agencies.

The process can enable national, state and local news audiences to participate in bipartisan public policy discourse. The process can serve as a catalyst for the equitable shaping of public policy, leading to the co-creation of expanded community value.
