Colorado has a new source for news and it was born out of the newsroom spasms of the venerable Denver Post.
The dust had barely settled from the latest round of hedge fund mandated layoffs when the resignations started. Top reporters and editors began announcing on Twitter they were leaving. No one seemed to know where they were going. The answer is an online news startup called The Colorado Sun.
Now, the hard part: “Build something impressive, do great work, and do journalism that people value and that they will want to support,” said co-founding editor Larry Ryckman.
The larger problem still persists: creating local journalism people will fully support with their dollars.
Ryckman envisions $5 a month as an introductory rate. It’ll be paid for by a credit card like any other news site, no need to shell out any cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin). The Denver Post charges $12 a month for unlimited digital access.
