The <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1uFt_Wx1PBQxhTgnyA3cwHtNZkRu0hWwpu5T09X-UJok\/edit?usp=sharing\">group of attendees<\/a> represented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Nearly 200 LION members from nearly a third of our membership&nbsp;<\/li><li>Dozens of funders, people who work for journalism-support organizations, and vendors who sell products\/services to independent news businesses<\/li><li>Attendees from 48 states and four Canadian provinces&nbsp;<\/li><li>More than 100 people who received a total of $56,000 in travel scholarships to help them attend&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The event was hosted by LION Publishers, News Revenue Hub and RevLab at The Texas Tribune, with support from presenting sponsor <a href=\"https:\/\/knightfoundation.org\/\">Knight Foundation<\/a>, and from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenfestinstitute.org\/\">The Lenfest Institute<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/newsinitiative.withgoogle.com\/\">Google News Initiative<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few takeaways from an inspiring, rewarding three days in Austin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. LION members are making an impression at the highest ranks of the journalism industry.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a career journalist who spent more than four decades in newsrooms, including eight years as executive editor of The New York Times, Dean Baquet has seen a lot of trends come and go in our industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when he talks about his excitement for the future of local news and name drops a LION member, <strong>New York Focus<\/strong>, it\u2019s more than high praise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a sign that our little corner of the news industry is moving toward the limelight, alongside a growing recognition that the future of local news will be built by civic-minded founders, not cost-cutting corporate brass.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Baquet put it: \u201cI\u2019m actually bullish [about the future of news]. I\u2019m a realist, I understand the economics of the news business, and I get all the forces that are pushing against us. But I also see people getting into the news business in ways they couldn\u2019t have before.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added, \u201cI had coffee with three editors at New York Focus\u2026 they do great stuff, and you could not have had a small group of people start a news operation with that kind of focus when I started in journalism. So I\u2019m bullish.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. The independent news movement is growing, with more representation of those who have been historically underrepresented.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If anyone needed a reminder about how much growth we\u2019ve seen in independent local news, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainabilitysummit.news\/awards\">LION Local Journalism Awards<\/a> delivered in spades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niemanlab.org\/2022\/10\/lions-local-journalism-awards-show-the-potential-of-the-next-generation-of-nonprofit-news-outlets\/\">Joshua Benton wrote for Nieman Lab<\/a>, the list of winners wasn\u2019t dominated by a small group of unicorn organizations that felt like exceptions to the rule.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, they came from all corners of North America, from small towns and big cities, from for-profit and nonprofit newsrooms \u2013 and all of them with success stories that feel replicable, even if deeply challenging.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award honorees also reflected the growing racial diversity within independent news, and at events like this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mississippifreepress.org\/28788\/outside-the-room-where-the-game-happens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a post about winning a LION Award<\/a>, <strong>Mississippi Free Press<\/strong> publisher Kimberly Griffin wrote, \u201cWe don\u2019t represent every community in Mississippi, but we darn well try daily and will continue to get better at it. That\u2019s frightening for people in power because our existence challenges the media and leadership status quo, how news is done and what communities are served.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Magnolia Reporter <\/strong>publisher Mike McNeill <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magnoliareporter.com\/news_and_business\/mike_mcneills_diary\/article_9900599c-5941-11ed-bffa-b7772f07b520.html?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=user-share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">also wrote about his observations from the conference<\/a>. \u201cI think of all the newspaper conferences I went to, and as much as I liked all those people, they all looked like me,\u201d he said at the Summit\u2019s closing session. \u201c<strong>But this group looks like America.<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. The human side of running a small business is getting more focus.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A year ago, we shared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-sustainable-news-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a framework for news business sustainability<\/a> that centered around financial health, journalistic impact, and what we call \u201coperational resilience\u201d \u2013 in other words, the health of the people doing the work and the likelihood they\u2019ll be able to keep it up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That third pillar often gets overlooked in our industry, but we saw at the Summit how important and <em>urgent<\/em> it feels for many of our members.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are not managing products and tasks,\u201d <strong>Outlier Media <\/strong>executive director Candice Fortman said in a session on <a href=\"https:\/\/inss2022.sched.com\/event\/1AfYH\/combating-burnout-lightning-talks-to-inspire-new-ways-of-working\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">combating burnout<\/a>. \u201cWe are managing human beings having human experiences.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a keynote conversation, The Markup editor-in-chief Sisi Wei and <strong>Charlottesville Tomorrow<\/strong> editor-in-chief Angilee Shah discussed what they are unlearning or shedding from their legacy newsroom experiences, including the idea \u201cthat you can\u2019t rest when you need it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another session, <strong>Montana Free Press <\/strong>executive director John Adams said <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/terabithia4\/status\/1586366814690451458\">hiring is one of the most important roles<\/a>\u00a0of a\u00a0CEO, and he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/terabithia4\/status\/1586364472989450242\">shared<\/a>\u00a0a personal measure of success \u2013 the fact that his employees are able to do things like buy a home and not rely on side gigs to financially survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We\u2019ll have more to share from the Summit next week, <\/strong>including session slide decks and keynote videos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, we\u2019d love your feedback. <strong>Please complete <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sustainabilitysummitfeedback.paperform.co\/\"
