The goal is to take advantage of the vital role that print continues to play in educating and unifying our geographic community, while introducing innovations that existing commercial papers are slow to adopt: 1. Instead of being print-centric, the Public Press will reverse-publish into print local online news from its own reporters and public broadcast partners, using automation and human editors. 2. Instead of answering to private owners who expect high profit margins, it will be a member-driven nonprofit civic institution. 3. Instead of relying on advertising, it will seek a hybrid model blending subscriptions, sales and local philanthropic support. 4. Instead of appealing to businesses through product-friendly reviews, it will be free to provide objective consumer and investigative reporting. 5. Instead of redlining poor communities in print distribution, it will target underserved readers, making civic education its highest priority.
