Let's Make Money!!!

For this post I want to focus on chapter 3 in Entrepreneurial Journalism because it reminded me a lot of what Meg was saying last week in class.  Last week, we focused on different ways to make money with our idea.  We talked about advertising, sponsors/investors and non-profits.  I thought it would be fitting to talk about this chapter as its main focus is how to make money in journalism. This chapter says, "mixing business in a principled way is not as difficult as some would believe".  There are LOTS of different ways to make money off of your journalism, which is encouraging to new/up and coming journalists.  You could get money through grants, advertisers, events or you could go the non-profit route.  This is pretty much exactly what we talked about with Meg last week so it was interesting for me to see how our discussion in class mirrored this chapter.
