Local commercial media has been in decline for years, and communities have suffered. But there is a new business model in town: news co-ops that readers own.

    Banyan Project has been vaporware for 6+ years unfortunately. Look at Taz.de or La Marea for examples of working media coops.

    Very interesting, I really like this idea. People and communities have to fight back against corporate media. I would love to be part of something like this in my community.
