Just Wrapped up a Journalism Accelerator Forum on Niche News Startups Making Money

Written By: Robert Cox

I was asked to participate in a forum on Niche News Startups Making Money facilitated by the The Journalism Accelerator.

The Journalism Accelerator is an online information exchange connecting publishers across news and information networks. The JA exposes new possibilities for financial sustainability in journalism, showcases promising experiments and provides practical information to help publishers work smarter. Through intentional, moderated conversations and crowdsourced resource listings, the JA connects people, ideas and experience across networks and expertise.

Among the folks who participated are Joe Bergantino, Diane Lund, Bob Buderi, Rusty Coats, Susan Mernit, David Hirschman, Joe Michaud, me and some other folks.
