We need to build a membership through email and solicit subscribers. We are exploring editorial syndication.

Our goal is to build diverse revenue
streams that will include events (sponsorship and ticket sales); fundraising; merchandising; and other forms of advertising (sponsored editorial, network ads and classified).

We are also exploring whether to create a nonprofit arm in order to create a fund for local journalism and enable us to apply for certain grants.

This collaboration allows both citizen and professional journalists to craft a story together.

Reporters might even ask readers with expertise in particular areas to send them information on that topic or even do some of their own reporting. That information is then incorporated into the final story.

Some amateur journalists operate fully independent of traditional, professional news outlets. This can include blogs in which individuals can report on events in their communities or offer commentary on the issues of the day, YouTube channels where citizens give their own news reports and commentaries, and even unofficial print publications.

Revolutionizing News
Citizen journalism was once hailed as a revolution that would make news-gathering a more democratic process — one that would no longer solely be the province of professional reporters. It has had a significant impact on today's news, with many believing that citizen journalism is a threat to professional and traditional journalism.

Social media has played a vital role in revolutionizing news. Many citizens are the first to report on breaking stories, with eye-witness videos, first-hand accounts, and real-time information, all using social media. Even news outlets will share breaking stories on social media before traditional means, but they have to still follow up with larger stories quickly or risk being outdated with their material in this fast-paced news environment.
