If you're coming to my hometown of San Diego for INN Days next week, please stop by and say hello. The Hub will have signage and tables in the lounge, and we're hosting a workshop on how to turn election traffic spikes into longterm, loyal supporters. Most exciting, we're hosting a party at one of my favorite waterfront hangouts, with live music. Join us! 😎 🎶 https://lnkd.in/g_qhxmTH https://lnkd.in/gpk7TaZz

Very proud of the work we're doing with WordPress VIP to provide deep traffic analyses to newsrooms like The Portland Press Herald. The insights gleaned from this analysis are already being put into practice. Check out the case study and let us know if your newsroom could benefit from better understanding what stories are making the most impact with your audience. https://lnkd.in/g6MmvunT

🚀 We launched two exciting R&D labs at News Revenue Hub this spring focused on diversifying audiences and revenue. Check out our blog post to learn more about our SMS texting cohort, designed to reach underserved communities, and our new Advertising and Sponsorships Lab dedicated to reconnecting newsrooms with mission-aligned brands and businesses. Diversification is the key to sustainability! https://lnkd.in/eYFY2fGj

Big news from my co-founder and dear friend Tristan Loper who is moving on from the News Revenue Hub to focus his immense talent and passion on his home state of Pennsylvania with the Lenfest Institute for Journalism. I couldn't have asked for a better partner and friend to embark on this crazy start-up journey with me and I'm so proud of what we accomplished together. I know he will continue to bring about important change and strengthen the communities and people he works with – just as he's always brought strength (and calm) to me. I will forever hear his comforting mantra in my head, "We'll get there" whenever I'm stressing over how we'll continue to move the Hub forward. Tristan Loper got us this far and we'll keep pushing to make him proud. He will always be my co-founder and a crucial part of the Hub family. Best of luck, my friend! 💓

I’m thrilled to be moderating a discussion with super stars⭐️ Natalia Antelava and Evan Smith ⭐️ at the International Journalism Festival this week! We’ll be talking about live events as an important platform to break barriers, build audience and grow revenue. If you’re going to Perugia, let me know!🇮🇹 https://lnkd.in/gixcnX66
