What does it mean to be “sustainable?”
There’s no idea more core to discussions about the future of local news organizations than their sustainability. Yet there’s no working definition for when a news organization reaches this hallowed ground.
We — Blue Engine Collaborative and LION Publishers — have an initial definition.
In 2021, LION developed a theory that sustainability for local news publishers exists at the intersection of three pillars — operational resilience, financial health, and journalistic impact. And in partnership with LION, we’ve built on this work to better understand and communicate what happens when publishers actually reach this stage.
