Community News and the Long Game: An 'Indie' Makes a Case for the 'One-Off'

Community news has a decade-plus of digital publishing experience, but it's not yet clear which kind of community platforms will be winners in the long game. Will it be a corporate network that can scale nationally, like the new Patch ; or regionally, like Daily Voice ; or an independent that clusters its sites in its metro market? Will "pure plays" prevail or will it be "legacy" sites that have morphed from declining print newspapers? Michael Dinan has many perspectives on the issue.
