Honoring the legacy of Jim Brown
May 26, 1933 – December 17, 2020
Thank you to the James Silberrad Brown Foundation for the largest legacy gift in our history. After graduating from San Diego State University with a degree in Management in 1967, Jim Brown worked as a Program Manager at General Dynamics Electronics before beginning a lifelong career in real estate.
He was an accomplished entrepreneur and very active in the San Diego community, including as a supporter of inewsource with his wife Marilyn Creson Brown since our founding in 2009.
Thanks to this legacy gift supporting strategic growth and audience engagement, inewsource will be able to honor Jim’s longstanding commitment to data-based, investigative journalism.
