Within each of these categories, we\u2019ll focus on the very important topic of revenue generation, but also make room for crucial conversations on operations, product, impact measurement and other key topics founders need to master to run a sustainable news business. This conference will give publishers the tools, resources and best-of-industry advice on how to operationalize sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference will also feature the annual LION Awards ceremony and dinner, which recognizes excellence in local independent journalism, and other networking opportunities for attendees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"covid\"><strong>COVID considerations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We acknowledge that we are still living through a pandemic, and every organization is making different decisions about their comfort level hosting in-person events. The Texas Tribune\u2019s office policy, which we\u2019ll use to inform our events policy, requires that every person show proof of vaccination and booster. We will assess whether masks will be mandated closer to the event, considering factors such as local case counts, the City of Austin\u2019s policy and our own community\u2019s comfort. We\u2019ll also consider other safety protocols as we continue our planning efforts to ensure we\u2019re taking all necessary precautions for attendees to feel safe and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"austin\"><strong>An acknowledgement about hosting in Austin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons we are excited to work with RevLab is because of The Texas Tribune\u2019s extensive experience with hosting large-scale events \u200b\u200b\u2014 we welcomed the opportunity to have them help us organize an event in their hometown of Austin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we made the decision to host in Austin, the Texas governor has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/10\/texas-trans-kids-abortion-lgbtq-gender-ideology\/\">proposed<\/a> a policy discriminating against trans youth by restricting their access to essential healthcare. Most recently, that decision led to some people and companies (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/03\/02\/1084063758\/clubhouse-sxsw-conference\">like social media company<\/a> Clubhouse) announcing they wouldn\u2019t attend South by Southwest, a conference based in Austin, because of the state\u2019s discriminatory environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to be clear: LION, as an organization, and its staff stand against all discrimination against LGBTQ+ people. Regardless of where we host any LION event, we will always work to foster a safe, inclusive and welcoming space. It is very important to us that all of our members, especially those who identify as LGBTQ+, feel comfortable attending our event in Austin, and we are open to hearing from any of our members about how to ensure that\u2019s possible.<br>If you have any feedback or questions about the Summit, please reach out to our executive director Chris Krewson at <a href=\"mailto:chris@lionpublishers.com\">chris@lionpublishers.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainabilitysummit.news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Learn<\/strong> <strong>more and register for the Summit<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013\u2013\u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/\"><em>LION Publishers<\/em><\/a><em> has more than 400 members who are local or single-subject independent news publishers across the U.S. and Canada, and has run programs and training on starting a news business, hiring and training staff in revenue roles, shoring up a strong operational foundation and other topics related to working toward sustainability.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fundjournalism.org\/\"><em>News Revenue Hub<\/em><\/a><em> is a nonprofit journalism support organization that provides tech infrastructure and consulting services to help newsrooms grow audience, develop products and manage membership programs.
