Just have as many conversations as you can with as many diverse people as you can to understand the universe you&#8217;re working in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Anita Li: <\/strong>Something I might add is partnering with community organizations on the ground that already have buy-in with your audience or the communities that you serve. That\u2019s an amazing way to organically market your news outlet, and also to build relationships that will pay dividends in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On using interviews to better understand your audience\u2019s habits and needs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rebekah: <\/strong>As a startup founder, I think you&#8217;re always encouraged to follow the data, follow the data \u2013 but qualitative data is also data. So [when we launched The New Tropic in 2015], we went out and talked to just a ton of folks in this millennial Miami audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[That\u2019s how] we really understood that they weren&#8217;t reading the Herald\u2026 They weren&#8217;t really watching local news. They were time-shifting all their media. They were actually very engaged on a national level with certain big topics, and really interested in urbanism and how the city would develop, but there wasn&#8217;t really a quick on-ramp right into those things. And that&#8217;s where we started with The New Tropic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On including yourself as a data point in your target audience<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Anita: <\/strong>When I was thinking about creating [The Green Line], I really wanted to create it for 12-year-old Anita, who felt really disconnected from the rest of the state and city but who also was really proud of coming from the place I grew up in. I didn&#8217;t feel ashamed of it at all. So there was a lot of me rooted in the publication, because I think young me, or [even] me now, is really representative of the audience or the communities that I&#8217;m serving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On being surprised by audience research<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rebekah: <\/strong>We found [at WhereBy.Us] that, yes, we&#8217;re aimed toward millennials, but our audience is actually demographically much more diverse. And we really had to push ourselves to start thinking about [our audience] more in behavioral terms [than in demographic terms]. I think that&#8217;s really important.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On identifying news deserts within highly saturated media markets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Anita: <\/strong>Toronto is a really big city. It&#8217;s the biggest city in Canada and it&#8217;s actually a very oversaturated media market. But there are tons of news deserts [in Toronto] as well, including my hometown of Scarborough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Candice Fortman: <\/strong>I think what you&#8217;re saying about Toronto, and it&#8217;s true for us in Detroit, is that you&#8217;re living in a \u2018news donut\u2019 where there is a lot of news infrastructure but the center of that doughnut is not being served. It\u2019s often the inner city, in particular, and when it is being talked about or written about, it&#8217;s for the entertainment or the eyes of audiences that don&#8217;t actually live in or have to deal with the realities of what happens in those places.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/NewsGuest201_transcript.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Read the full transcript from our conversation with Rebekah and Anita.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Want to learn more about how to better understand and grow your audience? <\/strong>Here are<strong> <\/strong>two more opportunities we\u2019re offering this month <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/membership\/\">exclusively for LION members<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The beta version of our News Entrepreneur Academy includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/courses\/designing-products-with-your-users\/\"><strong>a self-guided course on audience research and product design<\/strong><\/a> that will help you design, execute and act on audience surveys and interviews&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>We\u2019re hosting a LION member meetup!
