On Friday, April 3 we hosted a 60-minute Zoom call, “How to manage your local news business in the face of a pandemic,” led by media consultants Tim Griggs and Ryan Tuck. We wrote about three takeaways from the webinar, and Nieman Lab published this summary.

In this webinar you’ll learn about:

  • Business scenario planning
  • How to understand your financial standing
  • Expense controls and revenue levers
  • How to take advantage of the audience opportunity
  • Inspiration from other local news publishers
