The Newsroom of One: How Solo Reporters Are Rewriting Local News
As metro dailies contract, a wave of one-person newsrooms is filling the void—and finding paying readers along the way.
The metro daily is dying. That story you already know. What's less familiar is the story replacing it: the one-person newsroom.

Some are making six figures. All are doing journalism the metro papers stopped doing years ago.
