I’m happy to announce the release of my third book, Entrepreneurial Journalism. It is a collection of case studies on successful startup news ventures, insights from people who have built their own news businesses from the ground up, and practical guidance on how to get going in turning your own idea into reality.
I need to thank many people for helping me turn this book into reality. Jane Harrigan, my editor, and Charisse Kiino, my publisher, helped drive this project and make it great. Jeff Jarvis wrote a fantastic introduction and Mike Orren supplied and annotated the original business plan for Pegasus News. An invaluable resource.
The book is available at the CQPress website where, if you are a college professor, you can request a review copy. It is also available on Amazon.com (where the shipping is cheaper than buying from CQPress) and will be available on Kindle and other e-book forms soon.

Mark, I received a copy of your book from CQ Press last week, and I was impressed. I’ll likely use it as an assigned text in an entrepreneurial journalism course I’m teaching this spring at the University of Minnesota. Good timing, and congratulations!
Thanks for the kind words. And thanks for adopting it for your course. Congratulations to you for teaching such an innovative curriculum.
Hi Mark: My name is Michelle Rafter and I run a website called WordCount: Freelancing in the Digital Age. I’ve written a lot about entrepreneurial journalism on the site and would love to do a Q&A with you about what you learned putting the book together. Or if you’d prefer, you could do a guest post – whatever works for you. Feel free to contact me at the email address I provided.
Thanks,
Michelle Rafter
I plan on getting your book. There’s a young news site TruthTube.com. I think they also make for an interesting case study. TruthTube.com has basically adopted the Journalism 2.0 model where they allow the user to generate the news, authenticate the news, etc. Keep on posting.
