We serve 260 small publishers around the US, who pay us annual dues and attend our conference (this year in Nashville! Come hang out!).

We have a brand new site, http://lionpublishers.com , and a weekly newsletter that reaches thousands. Our Director of Programming will manage those, as well as helping plan that annual conference, and be the voice of LION on social media. 4/https://docs.google.com/document/d/10f8xq_QRP7bikb3vhe5lhuAlXKTVnBsL9N_e5AHpYII/edit?usp=sharing …

There isn't a good place to start your own news biz. That's the gap we'll aim to fill. So! If you want to work with me to bring this idea to reality, I'd love to hear from you. My email is chriskrewson(at)lionpublishers(dot)com. Let's talk. /end
