And if you're doing great journalism and not enough people are reading it, then you don't have a long-term path to sustainability.

So audiences are critically important for local news from the business model standpoint, both from an impact, this is how our journalism matters by reaching enough people that

that a critical mass of informed public can take appropriate action when need be.

And also it's about the sustainability, whether you're for-profit and your money is coming from advertising revenue, those advertisers care about your audience.

And if you're a nonprofit,

your audience is a significant source of revenue in the forms of individual donations and also earned revenue.

So it's really about growing audience across the country for local news, for sustainability and impact.
