We're thrilled to be at the AAN Conference in Charleston, SC as one of the sponsors! Excited to connect with independent publishers and share what Lede has to offer. Come say hi! #AAN2024 #JoinLede
Lede's vendor table at the AAN conference is covered in a bright purple tablecloth that reads "Lede." On the left side of the table is our swag - a white handheld mini fan. Three fans are out of their boxes and behind those samples is a pyramid of fan boxes. On the right side of the table is an open laptop, some handouts, and some purple and silver candy. To the left of the table is a popup banner with info about Lede and some whimsical graphics, including a spaceship launching out of a computer.

Lede began as a bet on the idea that journalists could build sustainable, editorially-independent newsrooms that serve their communities. It paid off for @DefectorMedia and @ColoradoSun so we’re doubling down on Lede. /1

As hedge funds decimate local newsrooms and VC-funded media outlets like Ozy offer cautionary tales, Lede gives upstart publishers the tools, strategies and revenue models to be indispensable to the communities they serve and grow their businesses on their own terms. /4

Some day, US publishers will realize the singular value of single sign-on. But not just any SSO, managed for the benefit of some startup or another… but SSO managed by a trusted third party (like the @LocalMediaAssoc or @LMConsortium). Magic will happen. niemanlab.org/2021/10/these-…
