Check Out DFW proudly states on the site that it is: “The first-of-its-kind real estate and local recommendations product that helps locals live more enjoyable lives.” Launched in the fall of 2021 in a very media crowded Dallas/ Ft. Worth metroplex market, Jed Williams, who spent one year as Chief Revenue Officer at Ken Doctor's experimental start-up Lookout Local and close to four years managing strategy and innovation for the Local Media Association, teamed up with well-known industry veteran David Arkin (who led content initiatives for Gatehouse, Local Media Association, Community Impact Newspapers and others) to go all-in with sponsored content in this new venture. Arkin is Check Out DFW's chief content officer, and Williams is chief revenue officer.     Right now, the platform focuses on the area's most affluent and growing communities offering content "verticals" for each area defined as Schools, Subdivisions, Resources, Guides, Things to do, Profiles, New to town, New to Texas and more. Plus, there is a growing newsletter database as well. However, all content is sponsored by a local business crafted as a marketing partnership between Check Out DFW and the Advertiser. In this 125th episode of “E&P Reports,” Publisher Mike Blinder interviews industry veterans Jed Williams and David Arkin about why they decided to move entirely into the sponsored content space with Check Out DFW. And what they see as the opportunity for initially growing audience and revenue in Dallas, Ft. Worth with this new model, and then moving into other markets as well.  

On episode 16, Stephanie Allen is joined by Jed Williams of Check Out DFW to talk about how he and David Arkin can help people find the right communities to live in and why the real estate market in the metroplex may never slow down.

Please Follow this Podcast Series For 15 years, Ken Doctor has been preaching innovative news publishing business models through Newsonomics, his own company and website. Six months ago, he started his experiment Lookout Local, which launched with Lookout Santa Cruz, the company's first site based in Santa Cruz County, Calif. Doctor's intention with the site is to show the industry his vision on what is needed to be the local news leader this decade. Today he boasts over 12,000+ email followers and just under 1,000 paid website subscribers after just three months of putting his content behind a paywall. Lookout Local was started with $2.5-million dollars donated by the Knight Foundation, Google News Innovation Challenge, The Lenfest Institute for Journalism, and various other foundations. One of his news publishing competitors is Dan Pulcrano, CEO of Metro Newspapers and owner of Good Times a free-circulation weekly newspaper based in Santa Cruz. Pulcrano recently penned an editorial claiming that the $2.5 million Doctor raised was partly due to his shopping a false narrative that Santa Cruz is a ‘news desert,' a community without reporting, one that's uninformed and parched for news—it is anything but. For decades.”  In this episode of Editor & Publisher's Vodcast: “E&P Reports,” publisher Mike Blinder checks in with Doctor and Jed Williams, founding chief revenue officer at Lookout Local, on how their business model is doing after launching during a pandemic.

TFTS is reunited with DAlex the friendly genie who makes his wish to see Jed Williams a reality and also ushers forth Abbie “Howard” Cobbe from the mists of improv comedy.  Under a time crunchabunga, the crew barrel through stage moms and a car accident that saved Jed a BUTT ton of money! There’s still plenty of racist diatribes against the screenwriters this episode and Abbie’s eye for Irma’s proclivity to fainting makes us all exclaim, “Oh, the WOMANITY of it all!”

TFTS and DAlex the friendly genie summon back the unstoppable forces of Jed Williams and Calico Cooper from the far off Czech Republic to finally confront the horrific sexism of 1980’s children’s programming.  Will racism sway the giant mutant plant? Will the boys ever catch on that Cali’s mocking them? Will Beasto Blanco ever get their singer back? Grab a bowl of Giggly Pops, it’s time for another TurtleCOM!
