More journos are quitting — or are being laid off from — their salaried jobs in favour of building their own followings with a paid newsletter on Substack. The three-year-old newsletter platform has empowered independent journalists around the world as media companies in their own right.
It allows media entrepreneurs increased control over the variables like product-market fit, audiences, the relevance and utility of their product, frequency, and pricing.
We’re so excited that Hamish, one of three co-founders, was at Beta to talk about Substack’s principles and how it plans to defend journalists.
