Salary<\/b>: $80,000<\/span><\/p>\n

Job description<\/b>:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to work directly with independent news publishers to recruit, train and coach new employees in revenue-generating roles, we want to hear from you.<\/span><\/p>\n

LION Publishers has evolved into an association serving aspiring and existing news entrepreneurs in the U.S. and Canada, and has helped launch a suite of programs including a <\/span>boot camp<\/span><\/a> for aspiring news founders, three month-long <\/span>courses<\/span><\/a> focused on specific skills news entrepreneurs need to develop, a <\/span>joint effort<\/span><\/a> to seed and support news startups in underserved communities, and, most recently, a <\/span>program<\/span><\/a> to help existing independent news entrepreneurs with coaching and capital.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re launching our latest effort: the LION News Revenue Fellowship<\/a>. This program is focused exclusively on our existing LION member organizations who want to accelerate their revenue. This program, the largest we\u2019ve ever run, will commit $1,000,000 over two years to selected LION member organizations who are ready to design or bolster their revenue strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through an application process, we will select a group of LION member organizations that will receive up to two years of funding to hire someone who will focus primarily on revenue generation with the goal of making their position self-sustaining at the end of the two years. For our first cohort, we will prioritize news businesses pursuing sustainability through a revenue strategy focused on readers, major donors or advertisers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our first step in launching this ambitious program is hiring a News Revenue Coach to advise on the development of The LION News Revenue Fellowship. The coach will also help select, train and coach News Revenue Fellows. As we train more fellows, we also want the News Revenue Coach to document best practices and serve as a resource to our broader LION membership.<\/span><\/p>\n
