Explainer

Three familiar ways to fund a newsroom.
None of them feels great.

Ads

The drawback

Annoying to everyone except the ad-tech companies.

Paywall

The drawback

Locks out the open web, and most of the audience with it.

Donation

The drawback

Always asking. Donor fatigue sets in fast.

Instead

Take the budget that would've gone to ads, and turn it into rewards your audience can earn.

The Public Interest Pledge

Digin is free for every publisher, but we're not stopping there. Public media, nonprofit news, and local journalism get our best terms and our fullest support, for as long as they're in the game.
