Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas. Knight Citizen News Network: Helping citizens and journalists amplify community news. Steven Brill is a man intent on putting toothpaste back in the tube, as he put it, one dab at a time. News publishers “committed mass suicide,” said Brill, when they began giving away content for free on the World Wide Web more than a decade ago.

The serial media entrepreneur’s newest venture, Press+, is offering publishers of today’s news sites a chance to reverse that practice and begin collecting for their content. His solution is designed to encourage a reader to pay after consuming a set amount of content. “It’s not a pay wall,” he was quick to note. “We don’t even allow use of the term pay wall in our office. It’s always a metered approach.” What differentiates this from walled-off content is that the payments are optional. The Knight Foundation funded a Press+ trial on 10 sites as part of its efforts to explore sustainability models. By the start of December 2010, just a dozen sites had Press+ installed, with another 10 to 13 set to come online by the end of the year. How It Works. Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas.

BlogHer is well-known in the digital content world but may not be as well known in journalism circles. The company was founded in 2005 by Lisa Stone, Elisa Camahort Page and Jory Des Jardins and, one could argue, it has done more to power entrepreneurial journalism than any other.

(We’re done quibbling over “blogging vs. journalism,” right?) Last weekend, the BlogHer Food conference came to Seattle so I took the opportunity to sit down with Camahort Page to learn more about this force multiplier. With 70 employees , BlogHer enjoys a diversified revenue model, hosting four events per year , powering 3,000 bloggers that reach 40 million unique users with its famous publishing network, running a popular online community at BlogHer.com with 140,000 registered users and performing custom research. It’s a model that seems ripe for repeating in other niche topic areas where assembling a valuable audience makes sense. Here are the highlights from my conversation with Camahort Page: ShareThis.
