How to recession-proof your news business

This event has passed, but you can watch the video here.

Economists are forecasting a “mild” recession in 2023. That’s driven by inflation, higher interest rates, and a tight labor market. What can news publishers and entrepreneurs do to prepare for an economic downturn? 

Attendees will hear an assessment of the economic climate and gain advice on how small and bootstrapped newsrooms can survive a recession.

This conversation is sponsored by the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
