[QUOTE="partinobodycular, post: 77646256, member: 435281"] Assuming that this isn't a startup, but a going concern, I'd consider a number of different revenue models, including a multi-tiered pay model with the lowest tier being free, but ad driven, then perhaps a donation driven tier, with perks like being able to comment on articles. Then of course there's affiliated partnerships and corporate sponsors. But something that I'm curious about is whether you could pull together a number of different news sources into a sponsorship model like Skillshare or Brilliant in which people pay a subscription fee that gives them access to a number of different news sources across a broad political/social spectrum. This could be a gateway to exposing people to different points of view. The proceeds that each news source would garner from being included in this model could then be used to help fund each news sources free/ad/donation driven website, which wouldn't have the same ease of access that the collective model does, hence encouraging people to sign up for the paid model rather than signing up for several individual news sites, even if they're free. I really have no experience in this area, but if I was tasked with finding a way to solve the funding problem I'd certainly do my best to make sure that I got that done, and that my staff was well compensated. But all that I can really do is say that I'd do my best... I learned a long time ago not to promise what even the best of intentions can't guarantee. [/QUOTE]
