AAN Publishers has bucked the news industry's seemingly endless contraction by growing membership 50%, from 80 to 120, amid widespread job losses.
Todd Stauffer emphasized that discussions around journalism's economic issues often overlook valuable outlets like scrappy weeklies and those serving marginalized communities.
The coalition formed by AAN Publishers, NNPA, and NAHP has enabled access to Google News grants, significantly helping this overlooked segment of the media.
Stauffer noted that the focus on 'dying dailies' and 'sexy startups' disregards alternative weeklies and minority-serving newspapers critical to democracy.
