That isn't a conservative estimate. I worked for a news organization with a staff of about 30. Our budget was around $4.5 million, and we were pretty light on the (expensive) software side. That's also not accounting for profit, which is typically why people do these things.
- panabee 14y agoInteresting, would you mind breaking down the costs a bit more (e.g., fixed costs, cost per journalist, how many journalists vs support staff like IT personnel)?
- natrius 14y agoI don't remember specifics, but there were about 20 journalists, 5 tech folks and 5 business/fundraising people.
