Creating and supporting independent news entrepreneurs

"When I launched Flint Beat, I felt like I was out there on an island all by myself. LION let me know that I wasn't. There were other publishers going through some of the same things I was going through. So to me, LION is family."

"The LION-GNI Audit, as a service, is something we would not know how to obtain elsewhere and will likely mark a significant milestone in our ability to grow and sustain our organization."

"I expected the same ‘thanks for your money, here’s a bunch of emails’ [treatment] I received from other industry associations. Instead, I gained access to resources and tools that have helped me to elevate my outlet, make workflows easier, and get support from fellow publishers."

“The LION-GNI Boot Camp has been pivotal to the development of my media startup and my growth as a founder. The instruction is enlightening; the coaching is propelling; the access to resources, generous; and the community is both inspiring and supportive. My company is better because of this boot camp—and so am I.”
