Knight Foundation New Business Models for News Project Update Presented at Aspen Institute FOCAS August 16-19, 2009 Introduction by Stephen B. Shepard Dean, City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism _______________ We’re delighted to be presenting our work at the Aspen Institute, and I’d like to thank Walter Isaacson and Charlie Firestone for hosting us. We’re also very grateful to the Knight Foundation for their financial support, encouragement, and friendship since we started the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism four years ago. So thank you to Alberto Ibarguren, Eric Newton, and Gary Kebbel. We set out to do something daunting: create new business models for news. You will see a brief overview of the results thus far. We have a lot more detail, which we hope you will dive into over the next three days. We hope to inform the discussion about the future of news with business specifics – experience, facts, figures, research, and analysis. We hope to demonstrate that there is a sustainable future for news. We’re presenting one set of possibilities. Clearly, there are many others. We believe it vital to build and experiment with these new models and share widely our experience and best practices. Our work is all being done in the open at our site, newsinnovation.com. We hope to draw out the ideas of many of you here at Aspen and we invite you to visit our site in the weeks and months ahead to review and contribute to our work.

    Peace and Justice Awardees 1995-2006 1995 Mickey and Olivia Abelson They have worked tirelessly through Cambridge Sane Free and others organizations to promote peace on a global basis. They’re incredible! Olivia is a member of Cambridge Community Cable Television and brings programming for the local community. Rosalie Anders Long time member of Cambridge Peace Action and the National board of Women’s Action of New Dedication for (WAND). Committed to creating a better community locally as well as globally, Rosalie has nurtured a housing coop for more than 10 years and devoted loving energy to creating a sustainable Cambridge. Her commitment to peace issues begin with her neighborhood and extend to the international. Michael Bonislawski I hope that his study of labor history and workers’ struggles of the past will lead to some justice… He’s had a life- long experience as a member of labor unions… During his first years at GE, he unrelentingly held to his principles that all workers deserve a safe work place, respect, and decent wages. His dedication to the labor struggle, personally and academically has lasted a life time, and should be recognized for it. Steve Brion-Meisels As a national and State Board member (currently national co-chair) of Peace Action, Steven has devoted his extraordinary ability to lead, design strategies to advance programs using his mediation skills in helping solve problems… Within his neighborhood and for every school in the city, Steven has left his handiwork in the form of peaceable classrooms, middle school mediation programs, commitment to conflict resolution and the ripping effects of boundless caring.

    Global Street Papers and Homeless [Counter] publics: Rethinking the Technologies of Community Publishing Erin Anderson, University of Pittsburgh This article argues that community publishing initiatives might extend the scope and impact of their work by critically examining the ways in which technology influences the production and circulation of their [counter]public discourse.

Sold on public street corners by homeless and low-income “vendors,” street papers exist to provide these individuals with not only a source of dignified, low-threshold employment, but also an independent voice that speaks to issues that affect their lives and the lives of people like them around the world. While there has been • 76 considerable disagreement as to how well individual projects fulfill this latter aim in practice, street papers in general have garnered substantial attention for their potential to contribute to “small acts of participation” (Novak and Harter 406), “communicative democracy” (Howley 274), and “counterpublic” discourse (Parlette 96) in the public sphere.

    Annual report 2013—2014 Street papers exist to tackle homelessness and poverty. Homeless vendors buy copies of the street paper for half the cover price and sell them on, in order to earn an income and lift themselves out of poverty. Many street papers also offer social support and training. INSP supports and develops 123 street paper organisations in 42 countries. We build their capacity and sustainability by providing: editorial support; business development support; training; PR and marketing; best practice examples; start-up support; income-generation opportunities; social development support; advocacy; research findings; accreditation; networking opportunities; and innovative network projects. We achieve our goals by focusing on the following aims: 1. To build the capacity and effectiveness of street papers 2. To enhance the editorial content of street papers 3. To provide a global community for street papers 4. To promote the concept of street papers 5. To be financially sustainable Cover image courtesy of Becky Duncan Shedia vendor (Orthodoxia Skoura) 2 (Image courtesy of Shedia ) Contents: 4 People 5 Network 6 News service 8 Conference 9 Awards 10 Vendor Week 11 The Big Sell-Off 12 Events 13 Innovation 14 Supporters & accounts That’s £25 million into the pockets “of some of the poorest people“ in our towns and cities. From our Chairperson “I’m proud to announce that over the course of the past year, our hard-working vendors sold 23.5 million street papers. That’s £25 million ($42 million USD) into the pockets of some of the poorest people in our towns and cities. Thank you to all my street paper colleagues around the world for making this happen and for working together, learning from, and inspiring each other.
