Episode Synopsis

Today on the podcast, Paul talks with Peter Rice, founder of Downtown Albuquerque News. DAN is a hyperlocal publication serving two zip codes of downtown Albuquerque with quality journalism, delivered by that lowest of high-tech methods: email.
In this conversation, they discuss Peter's frustration with the journalism industry which led him to start DAN, the business model that he uses, what kind of areas could support a similar newsletter, DAN's readership churn and the loyalty of the audience, why local news is so relevant, and a lot more.
