Show Notes
The Spokesman-Review, a century-old newspaper serving Eastern Washington and North Idaho, is set to become community-owned. The Cowles familys donation and matching grant have sparked a wave of support, with donations ranging from $5 to $500,000. Despite reaching $1.7 million, they need $300,000 more by April 1st to unlock the full match. The new model aims to sustain high-quality journalism through reader revenue, ads, partnerships, and student embeds.
