When Evan Stern asked me what was on my mind recently, I told him: a people-powered news media that rivals and replaces legacy press.
Our main goal for this conversation, though, was to invite people to join us— to dream with us about what that would look like (costs and can’t-do’s be damned). I wanted to have this conversation, because I want to inspire you to have this conversation in your own neighborhoods.
What does indie people-powered local media look like?
How can we revivify what a newspaper could mean and use that to rewrite the stories of our communities?
I hope you’ll give it a listen instead of doom-scrolling. And if this conversation inspires you, bring the idea to your neighbors, and see what kind of magic you can make on the way to good trouble.
