If it’s all about the readers, why not put them in charge? Through cooperatives or member-based non-profits, journalists and editors are testing the idea. It meshes engagement with contribution, using tools that include vision-setting, story conferencing, comment privileges, and member-only events.

Here’s how the UK’s Bristol Cable, Italy’s L’Ora del Pellice and Khabar Lahariya in India are creating cooperatively-owned news organisations. 

These are some of the organisations that the IPI global network has been talking to that are making the digital  transition work in their community.
