The Correspondent is coming to the USA @jayrosen_nyu @decorrespondent

The Correspondent is coming to the USA.

We launched our Amsterdam-based journalism platform De Correspondent in 2013 with a record-breaking crowdfunding campaign, raising $1.7 million from some 20,000 backers. We are now 60,000 members strong and still fiercely ad-free.

Our Dutch platform features in-depth articles, documentaries, and podcasts produced by journalists who are committed to collaborating with members on their chosen beat. Together, we cover stories every day that tend to escape the mainstream media’s radar because they don’t fit neatly into the drama of the 24-hour news cycle.

Newsonomics: Can Dutch import De Correspondent conquer the U.S.? –

At NYU, Jay Rosen will lead the research effort to see what makes for an optimal membership model and what lessons there might be for American publishers in De Correspondent’s experience.
