Title: The new kings of the news business are in your inbox
Alternate Title: A growing cohort of independent creators are building sustainable media operations — one newsletter at a time
Authors: Scott Nover

Abstract: Ryan Broderick has watched digital media companies flame out — beholden to a single source of funding or a fickle algorithm. So in 2019, he decided to craft a backup plan, while still working as a tech reporter at BuzzFeed News. Broderick started a newsletter roundup of the web’s oddities with a pleasantly putrid name: Garbage Day, an ode to the trash and treasure of the internet (and a nod to a quotable line in the 1987 slasher film “Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2.“) [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
