Instead, we\u2019re seeing even more bright spots and developments that should be widely celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We saw this most acutely when we received nearly 300 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/awards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LION Local Journalism Awards<\/a> submissions \u2013\u2013 an all-time high \u2013\u2013 detailing successful revenue stream experiments and creative community engagement endeavors. There were so many exceptional entries that we opted for co-winners in several categories. And I won\u2019t soon forget the moment when our ceremony co-host, Outlier Media\u2019s Candice Fortman, accepted a LION Business of the Year Award, and the room *erupted* in raucous applause.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be clear, we weren\u2019t the only ones who celebrated how independent news publishers bucked the negative local news narrative in 2023. When the Medill Local News Initiative released its <a href=\"https:\/\/localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu\/projects\/state-of-local-news\/2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">State of Local News 2023<\/a> report, it highlighted 17 \u201cprivately held and controlled\u201d news organizations as literal \u201cbright spots\u201d \u2013\u2013 beacons of hope in an otherwise grim landscape. Nieman Lab also profiled the success of <a href=\"https:\/\/niemanreports.org\/articles\/local-news-digital-startups\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">five local news startups<\/a> (all LIONs) and how they do things differently. Even The New York Times took note; its <a href=\"https:\/\/messaging-custom-newsletters.nytimes.com\/dynamic\/render?campaign_id=9&amp;emc=edit_nn_20231222&amp;instance_id=110779&amp;nl=the-morning&amp;paid_regi=2&amp;productCode=NN&amp;regi_id=9456088&amp;segment_id=153235&amp;te=1&amp;uri=nyt%3A%2F%2Fnewsletter%2F02f46673-1b30-590c-8712-050b976e0690&amp;user_id=49ac07f15699d2aad527ed9dccff8ffb&amp;mc_cid=88359d0966&amp;mc_eid=d4e2a958ea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">December 22 newsletter<\/a>, \u201cThe rebirth of local journalism,\u201d featured the work of nearly two dozen LIONs, with many more listed online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we still have more work to do. In fact, we aim to significantly strengthen our support for independent news publishers over the next five years, as outlined in our recently released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/strategic-growth-plan-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strategic plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2023 set the stage for what\u2019s to come, and we\u2019re super inspired by our progress<\/strong>. Notably, we hit a major milestone by reaching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/members\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more than 500 members<\/a> in the U.S. and Canada. We also:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Completed 75 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/learn\/sustainability-audits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sustainability Audits<\/a> and 96 Progress Reports, two popular programs now bolstered by our new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/introducing-lions-stages-of-sustainability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">maturity model<\/a>, which maps the growth path of an independent news business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More than tripled our planned monetary support following the completion of those Audits and Progress Reports, from $6,000 per participant to $20,000, thanks to a two-year commitment from the Google News Initiative<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Received 140 applications for 36 spots in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/lion-and-gni-partner-to-deliver-a-program-on-unblocking-barriers-to-revenue-generation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sustainability Lab: Unblocking Revenue Barriers<\/a>, demonstrating just how invested our members are in finding solutions to stubborn business challenges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gathered affinity groups for publishers who identify as BIPOC and\/or LGBTQIA+, and launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/lion-is-recruiting-community-ambassadors-to-reach-more-independent-news-publishers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Community Ambassadors<\/a> program to identify publishers not yet on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectnewsoasis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our radar<\/a> and foster connections among local peers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hosted two regional meetups, one in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/deep-south-publishers-push-back-scale-doesnt-serve-our-communities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deep South<\/a> and another in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/pls-and-other-dumb-sht-plus-other-takeaways-from-our-southeast-meetup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Southeast<\/a>, bringing together 250 news publishers and supporters for learning and connection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All this work wouldn\u2019t have been possible without our dedicated industry supporters, including the Google News Initiative, the Knight Foundation, the Democracy Fund, and the Walton Family Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what\u2019s next? We\u2019ve outlined <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/strategic-growth-plan-2023\/#divider-how\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">six goals<\/a> in our strategic plan, and we\u2019ll start chipping away at those while continuing to do what we do best \u2013\u2013 helping independent publishers build more sustainable news businesses. We look forward to iterating on our learnings and sharing our insights with you along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for a great 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris Krewson<br>Executive Director<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023-LION-Publishers-Annual-Report.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023-LION-Publishers-Annual-Report-1.pdf-791x1024.png\" alt=\"Cover image of LION's 2023 Annual Report\" class=\"wp-image-218842\" style=\"width:537px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023-LION-Publishers-Annual-Report-1.pdf-791x1024.png 791w, https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023-LION-Publishers-Annual-Report-1.pdf-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023-LION-Publishers-Annual-Report-1.pdf-768x994.png 768w, https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023-LION-Publishers-Annual-Report-1.pdf.png 1159w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/2023-LION-Publishers-Annual-Report.pdf\"><strong>Read LION&#8217;s 2023 Annual Report<\/strong><\/a>. <br><em>Report design by Ben Cunningham, Mach Five Design<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Independent news publishers offer a glimpse into the future of sustainable journalism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":659,"featured_media":218831,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[141,2],"tags":[869,1693,110],"coauthors":[196],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Annual-Report-Post-Image.png",1200,630,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Annual-Report-Post-Image-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Annual-Report-Post-Image-300x158.png",300,158,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Annual-Report-Post-Image-768x403.png",768,403,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Annual-Report-Post-Image-1024x538.png",1024,538,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Annual-Report-Post-Image.png",1200,630,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Annual-Report-Post-Image.png",1200,630,false]},"post_excerpt_stackable":"<p>Independent news publishers offer a glimpse into the future of sustainable journalism.<\/p>\n","category_list":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/category\/news\/announcements\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Announcements<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/category\/news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">News<\/a>","author_info":{"name":"Chris Krewson","url":"https:\/\/www.lionpublishers.com\/author\/chris-krewson\/"},"comments_num":"0 comments","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>LION Publishers 2023 Annual Report - LION Publishers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"2023 set the stage for what\u2019s to come, and we\u2019re super inspired by our progress.
