From Nieman Reports comes the story of The Vermont Digger, a non-profit local site started by a reporter laid off from the Times-Argus last year. Anne Galloway started the site in September 2009, just eight months after losing her job. Nieman Reports writes that Galloway “…didn’t know anything about nonprofits or websites when she was laid off… But a layoff has a funny way of upending your perspective…” Galloway investigated what it took to start up the site, and now works on it full time. As for the money? “Combined with an assortment of gifts and grants, VT Digger’s current tally stands around $21,0000. There’s a long way to go before Galloway hits the $75,000 to $125,000 she’s hoping for, but it’s a start,”writes Nieman.
