Citizen Ed What is up? Emergencies –Zaca Fire, Gap Fire, Tea Fire, Jesusita Fire –School Lockdowns News no one else covers –Conflict at Botanic Garden Sharing & Caring Adding elements of traditional journalism

Readers Want To Talk About Should people be allowed to take dogs to restaurants? Cell phone etiquette at Coffee Shops Can the County cut down my Jacaranda tree? Should teachers take vacation days before Thanksgiving? Best type of space heater to buy

Revenue Model Local advertising Voluntary paid subscriptions

Advertising Traditional advertising –not our primary goal –no pay for promotion –no Google ads Social Media Marketing –We’d rather have businesses be a part of our community than have them be outsiders selling to our readers

Paid Subscriptions We sell community, not content All content is available to all users no matter what their status Benefits of paid subscription: –No guilt! –Chance to win tickets to local events –Identity on the Edhat Comments Board

The Identity Experiment HYPOTHESIS: Identity is an important part of community People will pay for it RESULTS: Trolls got mad and left Paid subscriptions increased 33% Some people didn’t care
