While I'm fascinated by citizens media, I'm trying to find out what revenue models will be put in place to sustain efforts to maintain local news sites. In reading WordsInEdgeWise by Robert Cox, he mentioned that Lisa Williams of H20town pointed out how many towns with populations between 25,000 and 75,000 are big enough ot have news happening regularly but too small for a profitable print newspaper. OK, but if the answer is a smaller staffed site, how will it make money? be managed? be marketed to the community? I’m curious.
