Great article on the research by Jay Rosen et al. on De Correspondent, a news entity we can all learn a lot from as De Correspondent has tapped into a deep well of idealism among its members.
Some examples that came out of the 30 in depth interviews of why paying members support this innovative news outlet. 
The fact that it isn’t always grabbing for your attention is noticed and deeply appreciated.
When writers make themselves vulnerable by admitting mistakes or acknowledging areas where they need additional reporting, readers consider it a plus, a sign of maturity and confidence.
Members ranked “exclusive access” as the thing they value least. A major driver, however, is supporting independent journalism—“especially journalism that otherwise doesn’t get done”

When it comes to empathising with others, even De Correspondent can learn from this guy. In this impressive podcast series, Dylan Marron takes hateful conversations online and turns them into productive conversations on the phone. He asks one simple question: why?

The Least and Most Trusted News Sources in America
Listening means taking people serious. The brand is another. Great graph on which news sources Americans trust, and which outlets they consider to be full of it. Foreing publications like The Economist, the BBC and the Guardian score better than national outlets. Also good results for local players like Dallas Morning news and LA Times.

The economy of paid relationships is a hot topic. So here is a very interesting list of price points ($ 4,000 to $ 24,000) and perks (events, tools to follow legislation) of highly informative subscription services focused on professionals in politics, energy or finance. Take a look at what some of the priciest subscriptions out there cost and what their members get in return.

I transform businesses by forging high performance teams. I connect the world of suits to the creative world of sneakers, pioneering digital renovations that prosperously produced tens of millions in bottom line increases.

Heading an eight figure operation, I love to pass on beauty. I now nourish independent journalism with sound financials. I start by enhancing leadership at the top, producing more leaders in those teams so we become an organization of giants. This positive flywheel of high performance teams lasts for years. I am proud of having mentored hundreds of individuals on the path to reach their full potential, passing on hard-earned learnings in my own life. Personal attention creates a work environment that enables everyone to participate and thrive. This reduces inequalities, my favorite sustainable development goal.

I have a bias towards action and am driven to discover deeper principles, map new territories and pioneer new ways of working. I have piloted a multitude of projects in sales, data, customer experience, agile teams, service design and lean processes. I enjoy guiding teams in the hundreds in these domains.
