Evidence that more likely than not a digital-only news source launched with seven-digit investment by an ambitious and smart multimillionaire has the best chance of surviving and filling news gaps made by the shrinking of a legacy newspaper in a major market has the best chance of making it and achieving sustainability in a few years. Is it there yet? It’s another test of the nonprofit model on a large scale. And I hope to learn more about just how the partnership with public radio station WYPR is structured and how it’s going. Lots of lessons to be learned here.

Congratulations on your two-year anniversary. I wish you and the newspaper nothing but success. It is so important to have an independent, local newspaper, especially in a city as great as Baltimore.
