Thanks Jim Friedlich We are trying many new things, most working well, and our "newspub" look signals our drive for local news redefinition

So, for those who wonder whether people really want local news anymore. A series of storms is hitting Santa Cruz County, 3 down, 2 on the way. Lookout has become the go-to place for coverage -- and traffic is up 10X. If you provide it, they will come. lookout.co/santacruz/

It takes skilled journalists, & business-side people -- & enough of them -- to give communities what they need in times of crisis. Here's the Lookout Santa Cruz team -- big enough to make difference - that is doing that in our storm coverage. lookout.co/santacruz/

1/2 As we debate how we're going to replace the fast-flagging chain dailies, I offer a few equations: Civic information ≠ local news Print local news ≠ hedge-fund-gutted dailies Digital news start-ups ≠ nonprofits, only niemanreports.org/articles/sunny…

Hollywood Squares for news startups. We enjoyed mixing it up and spreading the ASLN word -- we are succeeding with local news rebuilding from Baltimore, Chicago & Memphis to Denver, Long Beach & Santa Cruz. We share our stories.

Now, with Press Forward "filling the big tent with big money," Jim Friedlich lays out well the background of its development and its parts. A great primer for what comes next. niemanreports.org/articles/press…

A commitment of a half billion dollars has the potential to help generate billions more in new support for local news niemanreports.org/articles/press…

Yes, Alden is still buying. Why? Still, as it has been for a decade: $$$$. How? Call it the Bamboozle the Boomer gambit. See, below, the bill of one long-time subscriber to the Denver Post. He recently got this simple renewal note, below. niemanreports.org/articles/9-har…

News out of Canada -- a new $100M deal with Google -- could and should influence what the CA legislature does, and doesn't do, in 2024. Foremost : Focus on one key metric, actually increasing the number of LOCAL journalists originating LOCAL news. niemanlab.org/2023/11/newson…

What would Christmas be without the Alden grinch. Unsatisfied w devouring newspapers and mobile home parks, it now eats Greyhound stations. The joyfully rapacious co: cnn.com/2023/12/17/bus…

Is a slice of new funding now better than a whole pie-in-the-sky perhaps later? Lots of gnarly details and vituperative debate in the CA Legislature/Google local news funding settlement. Why I think it is a win overall. niemanlab.org/2024/08/newson…
