Abstract: Many ideas have been proposed for improving the economics of producing journalism, but this article explores a few new ones focused on local journalism. These ideas include an increased reliance upon retired journalists, more collaboration with academic researchers, providing reports to aid those looking to move to a new community, and an outline for allowing news organizations to gain a legal right to a much larger portion of the financial benefits associated with prosocial investigative journalism.
