• Resumen

  • Meyer discusses Voice of San Diego's membership model that has once again earned the organization a place in the national spotlight for nonprofit local journalism. Memberships are the latest buzz across many swaths of online news, both national and local, for-profit and nonprofit. On the national level, for-profit operations like Slate and Talking Points Memo entice members with perks such as exclusive content arid the opportunity to interact with reporters in online forums. On the local nonprofit level, memberships offer readers a chance to be part of the club sustaining a news operation for the good of the larger community, arid work to cultivate a sense of intimacy through in-person interaction with reporters and member-exclusive community events.
