Signal Cleveland — a new, nonprofit newsroom — has launched to fill the gap left by the gutting of the city’s hometown paper, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the nonprofit’s editor in chief Lila Mills told Axios.
Signal Cleveland launched with $7.5 million in funding from a group of local philanthropies and journalism nonprofits, including the American Journalism Project.
“We can have a more nuanced and authentic representation of what’s happening in Cleveland,” Mills added.
The nonprofit’s goal is to make its journalism free and available via its website, email newsletters, text messages, radio and TV partnerships with local stations.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer is owned by Advance Publications, Inc., a private company run by descendants of journalism pioneer S.I. Newhouse.
