Make the News
• The public now has a freelance budget and can hire a reporter.
Media can make a difference.....
• A few dozen people willing to donate $10-$20 each is enough to hire a freelance journalist to investigate a local issue.
Community Journalism
• Content commissioned by the public and owned by the public.
• YOU can set the news agenda in your city.
Be Heard
• We work to get content published in local media outlets.
Potential Payback• We work to sell first publishing rights to
the content.
• This means: The content is seen by more people and all proceeds go back to you!
• You get your donation back to fund more journalism!!!!
