One overlooked loss from the disintegration of the for-profit newspaper industry is the loss of shared knowledge and institutional memory in larger newsrooms.
This assembly of talented writers from around the state gathers together decades of experience and knowledge and that’s a good thing.
IMO, this business model is the way to go for digital writing. Readers can choose to “go paid” with whom they choose or they can choose to support the coalition as a whole by supporting this one.
Would love to see something similar here in WI., or a topical one for music writers.
Great explainer of how it all works Julie!
