Many bloggers have supported themselves with donations from their audience, from Chris Allbritton having his readers send him to Iraq to Ana Marie Cox getting reader donations to keep her on the 2008 campaign trail. This more experimental business model has the audience making direct payments to support a journalist in writing a particular story or covering a beat. They will need to super-charge listings and add extras galore - some they can charge for - in order to entice people back. Prognosis: It’s hard to imagine newspapers catching up to Craigslist and other free options online just by partnering with outside firms. They have also invested in online sites such as (owned by Gannett, Tribune, McClatchy and Microsoft) or partnered with classified providers such as Oodle or Yahoo HotJobs.Įxamples: SFGate’s Kaango-powered classifieds NY Post’s Oodle-powered Market Place Newspapers have tried to offer extras online, including print/online specials for people buying classifieds.
