I’m glad they were able to figure that out, and now the question that arises in my mind is whether there is any hope for finding a model that props up local investigative journalism. Even if all those local news organizations became non-profits and had access to a very effective digital media platform that made it effortless to produce online content (including mobile-friendly functionality), and maybe even charge micro-payments for some of the individual articles, would it be enough? Or would it not work? Can they only survive if they do real news while selling other stuff?
