A journalist friend is exploring new models for the news, looking for ways to rebuild trust with audiences, while working toward better writing and reporting, while seeking new and better ways to make the enterprise pay. At Illinois Times we’re eager to join the conversation, looking for better ways to do what we do. At the same time we keep on putting out a little paper, week after week, month after month, year after year. That’s our model. –Fletcher Farrar, editor and CEO
