🚀 #NewEpisodeDrop Episode 26 of @lnmpod with @larryryckman of @ColoradoSun talking with host @timreganporter is out!
Larry shares insights into the digital outlet’s journey. Transitioning to a nonprofit model on its 5th anniversary, The Colorado Sun has not only survived but thrived, garnering national attention for its approach to news coverage and its business model. With more individual members than the much-lauded @TexasTribune, The Colorado Sun's strategy for growing reader revenue without a paywall is a testament to its commitment to accessible journalism.
Ryckman delves into the founding of The Colorado Sun. He discusses the challenges and learnings from moving away from the page view business to focus on engaging content that resonates with readers, emphasizing the importance of loyalty and community in the digital age.
The conversation also covers The Sun's business model, which balances memberships, advertising, and grants, setting a sustainable path forward for nonprofit newsrooms. Ryckman's personal journey from a seasoned journalist to navigating the business side of running a news outlet offers valuable lessons on leadership, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of quality journalism.

📢 "I am fundamentally optimistic that [the decline in local news] is a solvable problem.
There has been several estimates out there about what would it actually cost to bring what we've come to call minimum viable journalism for our democracy. And estimates span from ... somewhere between $2 billion and $10 billion a year. And compared to so many of our large scale problems, climate change, inequality, ... this really is doable." — @SarabethBerman, CEO of @JournalismProj
