The Pulitzer Prize-winning digital news outlet Lookout Local, founded by Ken Doctor, is expanding its innovative approach to local journalism beyond Santa Cruz, California, with plans to launch Lookout Eugene-Springfield in early 2025. This move marks the beginning of a broader national expansion strategy, aimed at revitalizing local news in communities across the United States.

There is still hope for local news. Over the years, the Pulitzer Prize for “breaking news reporting” has typically been awarded to major legacy media brands. However, this year a hyperlocal online publication, the Santa Cruz Lookout, received the prestigious honor for its coverage of the once-in-a-century floods that devastated Santa Cruz in January 2023. On this week's California Sun podcast I talk with Ken Doctor, who founded the Lookout in 2020, details how the newsroom covered the floods, and how it has emerged as a potential model for the future of local journalism.

On February 21, 2023, six news publishing companies: The Baltimore Banner, Block Club Chicago, The Colorado Sun, the Daily Memphian, Long Beach Post and Lookout Local/Lookout Santa Cruz, announced they were forming an organization they collectively called the Alliance for Sustainable Local News (ASLN). Their industry press release stated these six publishers all shared a “belief in the power of local news to make communities and people's lives better.” These six have also “found common ground in the successful building of new high-quality, trustworthy, non-partisan news organizations, large enough to serve their communities' primary news needs.” And “share fundamental values in the greater movement to revive, reinvent and renew the kind of local news journalism communities all across North America deserve.” Over the last two decades, ASLN founding member, author and industry analyst Ken Doctor has been known not to “pull punches” regarding his opinions about how hedge funds and large corporations have been hurting the industry. When announcing the formation of the ASLN, Doctor stated, “It's no longer a question of searching for models that might replace dailies whose owners have disinvested. Our members are doing that — and becoming the primary, go-to news sources for their communities.” However, even though the new ASLN members claim they share “key in-common characteristics,” such as being mission-driven and business-driven in “believing sustainable local news of scale must establish itself largely on earned revenue,” there are several dissimilarities within this group of six. For example, three operate as non-profits, and one recently purchased a community, print-based newspaper group. Finally, one functions as a public-benefit corporation. As far as the actual company leaders who started the ASLN, three come from a background of senior-level leadership in legacy media companies. Two come from legacy media senior editorial posts. And one came to the news publishing industry from a human resources and municipality public relations career. However, even though each of these news publishing platforms and their leaders have different origins, these six have developed a strong bond, believing that they may have found a collective way to blend their ideas into a news publishing business sustainability “secret sauce.” In this 179th episode of “E&P Reports,” we chat with five of the six news publishers who have banded together to form the Alliance for Sustainable Local News. This diverse group believes they collectively care about building a genuine, sustainable local news publishing business model. Speaking with host and E&P publisher Mike Blinder are Imtiaz Patel, CEO of the Baltimore Banner; Larry Ryckman, editor and president of The Colorado Sun; Eric Barnes, CEO of the Daily Memphian; David Sommers, CEO and publisher of the Long Beach Post and Ken Doctor, CEO of Lookout Local/Lookout Santa Cruz.

On December 5th, 2022, well-known news publishing analyst Ken Doctor, published a 2800-plus word updatevia Nieman Lab on the 2-year progress of his innovative Santa Cruz, CA digital news start-up, Lookout Local.   Within the document, Doctor pulls no punches about his opinion on the state of legacy media and its desire to help bolster a sustainable business model via big tech compensation by writing: "Lookout Local has never been about money itself, but money to the end of the mission — money that can prove out the proposition that a robust replacement for suicidal dailies can, indeed, be built. That's especially important in the age of Gannett's trainwreck, Axios Local's skimming, and the misguided Journalism Competition and Preservation act currently before Congress.” He also claims good progress, with a digital-only local news enterprise reporting that without print costs, 80% of his bottom-line expenses are a staff of 15 full-time people, with 10 working in the newsroom and five on the business side. He also states proudly, "We're old-fashioned, working in a real office, with face-to-face communication throughout the week." The lengthy article also offers industry advice crafted as 11 important "takeaways" as lessons learned over the past 2-years. They include being patient and aggressive, planning but being improvisational, making good friends, leaning on them, and including students in your newsroom. In this 170th episode of E&P reports, we check in again with media analyst Ken Doctor on how the last 2-years have gone in his quest to build a perfect, sustainable model in local journalism he calls Lookout Local. We also ask him about his opinions on the future of legacy media and why he was so publicly against the recently failed, Local Journalism Sustainability Act (JCPA). Also appearing is Ashley Harmon (Holmes), Lookout Local's new director of sales & marketing.  

Ken Doctor, a former Knight Ridder executive and longtime media analyst, recently rejoined the ranks of working journalists. He's the founder and CEO of Lookout Local, a digital local news site in Santa Cruz, California. Ken hopes that Lookout Local can provide a model of what works in the local news ecosystem. He says he wants to change the conversation. 

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.  

In 2018, news media analyst Ken Doctor penned a column that, in part, read: “Alden Global Capital is making so much money wrecking local journalism, it might not want to stop any time soon.” Now, fewer than five months since the ink dried on Alden Global Capital's acquisition of the Tribune titles, it's making a formal play for Lee Enterprises, a digital marketing services company and publisher of local newspapers across 26 U.S. states. The initial offer was for $24/share. The news sent Lee Enterprises stock upward. As E&P's Publisher Mike Blinder assembled a panel of news media experts on November 23rd to discuss the bid, LEE stock was at $24.10/share. On this 112th episode of E&P Reports, Host Mike Blinder speaks with Gordon Borrell, founder and principal of Borrell Associates; Rick Edmonds, media business analyst for Poynter Institute; Steven Waldman, president and co-founder of Report for America; and Gretchen A. Peck, contributing editor at E&P, about the hedge fund company's intentions. They talk about the offer, the timing, the oncoming culture clash if the deal goes through, the possibility of pleading an anti-trust case, and so much more.

Episode Notes In this episode of the What to Be Show we hear from Ken Doctor. Ken is the CEO and founder of Lookout Santa Cruz which is an emerging network of, digital-only, mobile-first, editorially heavy, and hyper-local media outlet offering community-focused news and resources. Ken is also known for his 2010 book Newsonomics: The Twelve New Trends That Will Shape the News You Get.

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.

Do people really value local news? Will they pay for high quality local news if offered? Ken Doctor is betting on “yes.” He went from news business analyst and consultant to start-up CEO in his hometown, Santa Cruz, Calif. He launched Lookout Local, a digital news operation designated as a for-profit, public benefit company. His mission: to prove that a profitable enterprise that supports a high-quality newsroom can work. Can it?

Ken Doctor Finally Reveals Lookout Local For more than a decade, media analyst Ken Doctor sat on the sidelines evaluating, commenting and even making sweeping predictions about where the news publishing industry was heading and how he felt about the factors that impacted it. But today, Ken has moved into the fray as CEO of a new startup he has been teasing the industry about called Lookout Local. Lookout hopes to expand across the country, but it's first model will launch in Santa Cruz, Calif. (Ken’s hometown) with Lookout Santa Cruz with funding from the Knight Foundation, Google News Innovation Challenge, The Lenfest Institute for Journalism and various other foundations. In this segment of E&P Reports, E&P publisher Mike Blinder interviews both Doctor and newly-announced Chief Revenue Officer Jed Williams who recently left the Local Media Association after a four-year stint as chief strategy officer.

He is the author of Newsonomics: Twelve New Trends That Will Shape the News You Get, and he writes a popular weekly column called “Newsonomics Of” for the Nieman Journalism Lab. We talk to Ken about the impact of COVID-19 on publishing, the balance between advertising and subscriptions, and the path to more sustainable business models.

In this episode of Impactful Conversations as a part of MoFo Perspectives, Jesse Finfrock, a San Francisco-based associate in Morrison & Foerster’s Social Enterprise and Impact Investing Group, meets with Ken Doctor, the founder of Lookout Local, to discuss how he has incorporated Lookout Local’s mission into its corporate form in electing to become a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). A PBC requires balancing the traditional fiduciary duties owed to stockholders with the social or environmental benefit that is written into the corporation’s charter documents. In this case, Lookout Local’s mission is to provide the news and information needs for the local communities it serves. “The main thing I want to do is change the conversation and repopulate these news deserts,” says Ken Doctor, so finding a corporate form that embraced his company’s values was the first step.

The news industry has been hard hit in recent years. The rise of online ads and then the Great Recession pushed newspapers into steep decline. Now, with the coronavirus crisis, industry observer Ken Doctor says news faces — gulp — “extinction.”

For those news organizations able to imagine life after COVID-19, long-term prospects are hampered by what Ken Doctor sees as a skills crisis.

Most of us know Ken Doctor, the president of Newsonomics, who in 2010 predicted many of the industry disruptions that occurred over the last 10 years. Now he is working on “Lookout," a wide-reaching new model for local news that will launch later this year. Ken just released a new paper, based on intensive reporting, that predicts where the industry will be in 2025. As Ken looks forward to where we may be in a few short years, some may call his findings eye-opening and even sobering. E&P publisher Mike Blinder goes one-on-one with Ken Doctor as he predicts where our industry is heading with reader revenue, newsroom staffing, print frequency and more.

Le groupe de presse France Antilles édite les quotidiens de la Martinique, de la Guadeloupe et la Réunion. Il a été placé ce jeudi 30 janvier en liquidation judiciaire. C’est à la fois un drame social dans les départements concernés et un signal très alarmant à l’échelle nationale. Pour la première fois, deux régions françaises vont devoir se passer de quotidiens à quelques semaines des élections municipales. France-Antilles, qui avait été créé en Martinique, à l’occasion de la visite du général de Gaulle en 1964, a fait paraître jeudi son dernier numéro. Il faudra attendre le 6 février pour qu’un numéro spécial soit publié sur l’histoire et la fin de ce journal. Une date qui sonne comme une défaite de la République, car même si Emmanuel Macron avait promis des « mesures spécifiques » pour une presse d’outre-mer « particulièrement fragilisée », rien n’y a fait. Franck Riester, le ministre de la Culture, a assuré qu’un « soutien exceptionnel de l’État » avait été proposé aux côtés d’investisseurs privés, mais cela s’était révélé insuffisant. Jeudi, le tribunal de commerce de Fort-de-France a prononcé la liquidation de la société éditrice, sans poursuite de l’activité, laissant 235 salariés sur le carreau. « Une horrible nouvelle pour la presse et la démocratie » En redressement judiciaire depuis sept mois, France-Antilles est une ancienne filiale du groupe Hersant, aujourd’hui entre les mains d’Aude Jacques-Ruettard, la petite fille du papivore qui possédait également le Figaro ou France Soir. Seules les radios de la filiale ont trouvé preneur. Pour Jean-Michel Baylet, qui préside l’Association de la presse d’information, c’est une « horrible nouvelle pour la presse et la démocratie ». Cela confirme que les géants du numérique peuvent tuer la presse en lui prenant des lecteurs et de la publicité alors que Google refuse toujours de verser des droits d’auteurs aux journaux. Et c’est vrai que cela ressemble à ce qu’ont connu les États-Unis au dans la dernière décennie où les revenus publicitaires ont été divisés par trois, ce qui a conduit à la disparition de 1800 journaux locaux. Les conséquences de cette consolidation autour d’acteurs comme Ganett ou Digital First Media ont été étudiées. Selon le spécialiste des médias Ken Doctor, on a vu diminuer chaque année « la possibilité de se faire une opinion » avec des rédactions de plus en plus faméliques qui voient partir d’abord, tiens, ceux qui sont chargés de suivre les élus. « J’associe ce déclin à la montée du trumpisme » a expliqué Ken Doctor au Financial Times. De moins en moins de journalisme basé sur des faits, des vérités alternatives non corrigées par la presse locale et pour finir une augmentation de la corruption et une plus grande porosité aux idées populistes. Un cocktail qui n’est pas, hélas, si exotique.

Ten years ago, Ken Doctor wrote "Newsonomics," a groundbreaking book that changed the way many approached news publishing in the last decade. Now, Ken is incubating a new business model for the newsrooms of the 2020s called Lookout. He does not tell us everything about it in this 45-minute interview, preferring to wait until his market test is complete, but he does reveal many of the concepts he claims can make news publishing thrive and profitable in today’s challenging world. Plus, Mike looks into the industry predictions Ken made 10 years ago in "Newsonomics" to see if those prognostications are accurate today.  

Hundreds of journalists from the Chicago Tribune and other outlets owned by Tribune Publishing are petitioning the company’s board of directors to invest in their news organizations. Reset talks to news industry analyst Ken Doctor and Heidi Stevens.

How the decline of the local newspaper industry is affecting democracy. Manuela Saragosa speaks to Ken Doctor, former newspaper man and now analyst at his own company Newsanomics, about the scale of decline in local news, particularly in the United States. Researcher Meg Rubado explains how the lack of a local news source is affecting local elections, and Penny Abernathy, professor in journalism and digital media economics at the University of North Carolina, explains why deep cuts are down to a new breed of newspaper owner. What's the solution? In the UK, we hear from Megan Lucero, director of Bureau Local, a project part funded by Google to help local journalists collaborate on stories and share resources.

This has been yet another turbulent year in the media industry, and publishers have pivoted to wherever they found potential for ad dollars or an alternative revenue model. Some are experiencing success with subscription models, particularly those with a legacy of trust and quality associated with their names, like The New York Times. Ken Doctor, a news industry analyst joins us on this week's Digiday Podcast to discuss subscriptions for local news publishers, FCC decisions, the problem with digital-only models, Tronc and more in the episode.

Ken Doctor created Newsonomics as a way to help industry players understand and predict the future of media. In today’s episode, we explore strategies for dealing with media disruption. Ken weighs in on everything from content and convergence to Facebook’s fake news epidemic and the intimidation tactics of “big data.”... The post Ken Doctor: Newsonomics And The Transformation of Media appeared first on Up Next.

The podcasting industry is often characterized as being like the “Wild West,” which is very similar to how digital publishing was regarded in the 1990s. Media analyst Ken Doctor was at the forefront of journalism's first online forays while working at Knight-Ridder Digital, and now he turns his lens to podcasting. He sees parallels with early internet publishing, but also important differences. On this episode of the Wolf Den he tells Chris and Lex what he thinks podcasters and the podcast industry need to do in order to grow smartly and sustainably. He analyzes Apple's current position as the still-dominant platform for finding and listening to podcasts, and offers his thoughts on how Apple could best support the medium. Ken also weighs in on the viability of subscriber-funded models and what podcasters should focus on in 2017. You can follow Ken at http://newsonomics.com

Willem Buiter, chief economist at Citigroup, says the Fed is excessively sensitive to what it thinks the markets might do and how markets react. Jim Grant, editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, says Janet Yellen and central banks ought to be nearly invisible. Ken Doctor, author and columnist of Newsonomics, says we have half the number of journalists in local newsrooms than we had in 1990. Anne-Marie Slaughter, New America CEO & Princeton professor, says part of the problem of globalization is that it has left so many people who aren't part of a global network behind.
