Description

Peterborough Currents is going through some big changes. 

A key piece of our funding has dried up, which has necessitated some tough conversations about what lies ahead for our community-powered local news outlet. At the same time, we're transitioning to become a non-profit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors. It's a lot! 

In this episode, karol orzechowski interviews Currents publisher-editor Will Pearson about everything that's going on at Currents. karol is the board chair of the Peterborough Association for Local News, the brand new non-profit that will be assuming ownership of Peterborough Currents in the coming weeks and months.

We discuss the past, present and future of Currents, as well as how different journalism business models shape the content outlets produce. Have any questions? Email [email protected] to get in touch.
