Spokane's Newspaper Reborn: Community Funds Nonprofit
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
Bob, a dedicated reader, donates a hundred dollars to his local Spokesman-Review newspaper, symbolizing the communitys overwhelming support as it transitions from family ownership to a nonprofit. The Cowles family, who owned the paper for a century, donated it to Comma Community Journalism Lab, a nonprofit led by editor Rob Curley and entrepreneur Scott de Rozic. The community has responded with generous donations, from small checks to large business contributions. Comma plans to partner with schools, offer free digital subscriptions, and maintain a pay-what-you-can scale for subscriptions. This innovative approach could serve as a model for other towns facing similar challenges in the newspaper industry. Checkout Solipillow.com
