The media and journalism worlds have been beaten up for so many years that it's hard to have hope. But the indie, worker-owned digital media we see rising today remind me of how alt-weeklies used to inspire. Maybe the New Alt Media is a way forward. www.anildash.com/2024/06/14/t...

In Utah of all places we have a local paper that went non-profit and it’s driving the local republicans nuts because it’s virtually untouchable

Collective pubs are a great model. Nonprofits, in general, are a super-important part of the present and future ecosystem. But everyone with a stake in the future of journalism needs to continue to lobby for public funding. It's the only way we'll ever have enough newsroom jobs to get the job done.

I'm a paid subscriber of at least 5 local ones because they're a resource I very much want to see continue to grow.

We have several of those here with nearly anonymous funders and axes to grind. That makes all of them suspect.

As someone who started one I can report: worker-owned, like non-profit, is a structure but not a business model. It doesn’t answer the question of how to fund or sustain.

Our local digital-only paper just won a Pulitzer! Focusing on “local” issues is still valuable to people! :)
