The Swellesley Report—parent company of Natick Report—is 1 of 16 independent publishers selected to take part in the 2022 GNI Startups Lab on Managing Money and Risk.
The program, a collaboration between the Google News Initiative and the LION Publishers trade group that we belong to, is designed to help outfits like ours build sustainable news operations. In our case, this includes both Swellesley, which has been around since 2005, and our newer Natick Report, launched in 2020.
The program, which kicked off for us earlier this month, will provide training, funding and coaching on:
- Navigating risk and uncertainty
- Financial management
- Setting goals
- Developing key business and financial documents
- Growth opportunities
Thanks to everyone who has supported our independent news sites to this point, via contributions, advertising, sharing news tips (natickreport@gmail.com), engaging with us on social media, or reading the site/subscribing to our email newsletter.
So good to see the Reports evolve. Just told our granddaughter to subscribe. Congratulations for the good work and good service.
Thanks for your support Dennis
