We primarily use the term &#8220;indie info provider&#8221; and sometimes &#8220;creator-journalist,&#8221; which was the term used in our survey and interviews. If anything, creator-journalists are a subset of indie info providers: they have journalism backgrounds and typically see themselves as journalists, even if they don\u2019t use the term publicly. Both terms appear throughout the report to refer to the same group: \u201c<em>people who are working to provide verified factual information with a personality- or voice-driven brand that leverages the creator economy.\u201d <\/em>That definition encompasses a tremendous amount of variation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-aktiv-grotesk-font-family has-foxtrot-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:0px\"><strong>Why we did this<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-aktiv-grotesk-font-family has-foxtrot-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:0px\">According to our <a href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/2024-public-survey\/news-organizations\/\">research<\/a>, about one in five people in the United States get news from individuals rather than organizations, and it\u2019s more common for younger people to get news and information this way. A glut of <a href=\"https:\/\/digiday.com\/media\/former-substack-creators-say-theyre-earning-more-on-new-platforms-that-offer-larger-shares-of-subscription-revenue\/\">new platforms<\/a> and technological tools also make it easier to run a solo or small info provider business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-aktiv-grotesk-font-family has-foxtrot-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:0px\">Featuring individual voices over institutional brands has been paying dividends in terms of both audience trust and the flexibility to try out different formats, tools and platforms. <a href=\"https:\/\/niemanreports.org\/news-influencers-content-creators-social-media-journalism\/\">Legacy media<\/a> is paying attention to this trend and newsrooms like <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcreator.washingtonpost.com\/\">The Washington Post<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/espnpressroom.com\/us\/press-releases\/2025\/08\/espn-signs-katie-feeney-as-sports-and-lifestyle-content-creator\/\">ESPN<\/a> are now partnering with indie info providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-aktiv-grotesk-font-family has-foxtrot-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:0px\">To date, <a href=\"https:\/\/reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk\/news-creators-influencers\/2025\">research<\/a> on this trend has largely focused on the broader landscape of content creators, including entertainers, politicians and other creators who do not necessarily focus on informing their audiences. And most research to date has focused on content sourcing and linking strategies. To enable a future for a plurality of fact-based sources that readers and viewers find relevant, our project sheds light on who indie info providers are, and how they approach their role in the broader news landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-aktiv-grotesk-font-family has-foxtrot-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:0px\"><strong>How we did this<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-aktiv-grotesk-font-family has-foxtrot-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:0px\">In partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/projectc.biz\/\">Project C<\/a>, CNTI recruited 43 adults in the U.S. to take a screening survey and chose 26 for a 60- to 90-minute virtual interview. CNTI selected interviewees to represent a range of professional backgrounds. This report is based primarily on insights from the interviews, with data from the survey as a secondary source.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-aktiv-grotesk-font-family has-foxtrot-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:0px\">In keeping with Project C\u2019s focus, most interviewees were former journalists \u2014 but we prioritized interviewing people from non-journalism backgrounds, and we were able to interview science communicators, subject-matter experts and civic-minded community members without journalism experience. Throughout this report we call out contrasting examples that suggest larger differences between former journalists and indie info providers from other backgrounds. We also spotlight examples from indie info providers outside our sample, where relevant to point to the broader diversity of backgrounds and experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-aktiv-grotesk-font-family has-foxtrot-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:0px\">In interviews, we asked participants about their backgrounds and motivations, audience engagement, their relationships with other indie info providers and legacy news outlets, platforms and algorithms, revenue and business strategies, and their view of success and satisfaction with their own work.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-aktiv-grotesk-font-family has-foxtrot-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:0px\">We developed codes using a bottom-up and iterative approach as themes emerged through the analysis. Code categories largely reflected the range of interview topics as well as the addition of the broader themes \u201cfreedom\u201d and \u201csmall business owner.\u201d These methods provide richness and depth; however, it\u2019s not possible to generalize about the frequency of behaviors from these interactions, so we limit our use of quantitative terms to our interviewees throughout this report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-aktiv-grotesk-font-family has-foxtrot-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:0px\">CNTI research and professional staff prepared this report. This project was made possible by the financial support of the Lenfest Institute and a second anonymous donor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-while-many-of-the-interviewees-had-taken-a-structured-course-of-some-kind-self-teaching-trial-and-error-and-a-strong-entrepreneurial-spirit-are-critical\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family\"><strong>While many of the interviewees had taken a structured course of some kind, self-teaching, trial and error and a strong entrepreneurial spirit are critical.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eleven out of 26 U.S. interviewees said they had taken some sort of structured course relevant to their creator work. All but one took courses in business skills, ranging from accounting and budgeting to more advanced strategy and revenue development. Without exception, the business courses they took were journalism-specific. They turned to Project C, CUNY\u2019s entrepreneurial journalism program, LION Publishers, Tiny News Collective and others. That\u2019s particularly surprising because so many of their business challenges are relevant to <a href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/reports\/understanding-us-indie-info-providers\/professional-backgrounds\/\">new entrepreneurs across disciplines<\/a>, not just journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indie info providers also found ways to learn on their own. Self-teaching could mean learning through trial and error, or it could involve accessing free materials online or from a library. Social media, in particular, seems to be a skillset that creators learn by trying things out (although three people took courses on producing vertical video). Most interviewees decide what to post by soliciting audience feedback or monitoring analytics and identifying patterns over time. One person also described their strategy for avoiding trolls and harassment as something they learned primarily through experimentation. They also teach themselves technical skills like website building, basic programming, video editing, ad sales and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-they-mostly-learn-new-skills-alongside-one-another\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family\"><strong>They mostly learn new skills alongside one another.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indie info providers turn to their formal and informal networks to learn new skills. They rely on friends, former colleagues and \u201c<em>mentors from all different types of worlds.\u201d<\/em> Like the structured courses they told us about, the more formal networks they named were similarly journalism-centric: Project C, which manages a Slack community of 200+ creator-journalists, was the only community that more than one interviewee mentioned by name. (That\u2019s likely because we recruited participants in partnership with Project C. Many other communities for indie info providers exist, among them the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evicollective.org\/our-leadership\">Evidence Collective<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/newscreatorcorps.org\/\">News Creator Corps<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/listeningpostcollective.org\/\">Listening Post Collective<\/a>, CUNY\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.journalism.cuny.edu\/j-plus\/entrepreneurial-journalism-creators-program\/\">Entrepreneurial Journalism Creators Program<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lionpublishers.com\/\">LION Publishers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/scicommers\/\">SciCommers<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinynewsco.org\/\">Tiny News Collective<\/a>.)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While indie info providers from journalism backgrounds and those from other backgrounds have complementary skills and growth areas, interviewees tend to learn from people with similar backgrounds. Just one person said they had joined a local small business networking group, which they found immensely valuable for skill development, relationships and finding local advertisers. This person thought their peers would benefit from broadening their networks in this way, especially if they serve a local audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because so much of their professional learning takes place within networks, many of our interviewees engage in mentorship programs with journalism schools, professional societies or conferences. They all said these were important professional relationships for them, both to stay connected to the field and to pay forward the way they had learned. As one person explained, \u201c<em>I still dedicate a lot of time when people ask me about starting your own business or about being a solo in the newsletter world. Because people did that for me and I have an ethical obligation to share that, especially now that I&#8217;ve been doing this a little bit longer<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-many-available-resources-that-are-not-journalism-specific-have-largely-gone-un-utilized-by-interviewees-due-to-time-access-or-awareness\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family\"><strong>Many available resources that are not journalism-specific have largely gone un-utilized by interviewees due to time, access or awareness.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most interviewees see themselves as small business owners (see \u201cmaking money\u201d), yet only one interviewee mentioned participating in a local small business networking group. Nobody mentioned taking advantage of resources or services from the Small Business Administration or from Small Business Development Centers, although they would likely be eligible. It\u2019s hard to know why interviewees didn\u2019t talk about these opportunities, but it is possible they do not have time to take advantage of them, or are not aware that they exist at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The relative insularity of the professional development ecosystem could mean that the indie info providers we interviewed are unaware of relevant opportunities from adjacent fields. For example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americaninfluencercouncil.com\/\">broader creator field<\/a> has built a great deal of knowledge about monetizing independent work; <a href=\"https:\/\/indieweb.org\/IndieWebCamps\">indie web developers<\/a> have long focused on building an audience on owned sites rather than depending on platforms; the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/EverythingOpenSource\/open-source-events\">open-source community<\/a> has given deep thought to the sustainability of independent projects; and public scholars have deep expertise in research and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This finding suggests that indie info providers would benefit from networking broadly and considering business models and resources outside their original industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-continue-reading\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-aktiv-grotesk-condensed-font-family\">Continue Reading<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/reports\/understanding-us-indie-info-providers\/credibility\/\">Credibility<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/reports\/understanding-us-indie-info-providers\/distribution-platforms\/\">Distribution Platforms<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/reports\/understanding-us-indie-info-providers\/making-money\/\">Making Money<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/reports\/understanding-us-indie-info-providers\/going-solo\/\">Going Solo<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gridible-responsive-spacer\" style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/reports\/understanding-us-indie-info-providers\/about-this-study\/\">About This Study<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/reports\/understanding-us-indie-info-providers\/participating-creators\/\">Participating Creators<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLP-1Z12I4zMybXcTPPpkPXiXTFRZ-3AnY\">Creator Videos<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-primary-2-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cnti.org\/reports\/south-africa-indie-info-providers\/\">Companion Report: South Africa<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indie info providers are learning on the job, together.
