Tuesday, February 17, 2009

Huffington Post has an interesting piece by Sally Duros on how a new kind of business structure - the L3C - may provide a lifeline to solvency to newspapers.

Her piece is focused on papers in the Chicago area, and she references a bill creating the L3C hybrid introduced to the Illinois legislature Feb. 4 that apparently has good prospects.
