Can’t believe I neglected mentioning this site to you before.

Joel Kramer, ex-editor of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, launched this puppy last year, and it seems to be doing well (watch, it shudders next week).

It’s nonprofit, and employs many jock-journalists from the Strib, which cut dozens of household names last summer. I think it’s almost entirely freelance-based…

A model for the rest?
