L.A. Reported prepares for launch as a weekly Substack that “won’t waste readers’ time” | Nieman Journalism Lab

L.A. Reported, a new nonprofit newsroom, prepares to launch as a weekly Substack newsletter focusing on high-quality, deeply reported stories about Los Angeles. Founded by Scott Woolley and David Dreier, the publication aims to cover essential topics like housing, transportation, and public safety, with plans to increase its frequency to three issues per week by the end of the year. It emphasizes a 'less is more' approach, offering generous pay to contributors and prioritizing reader revenue over donations.
