Eight months in from launching Guernsey's only independent news outlet, we discuss the lessons we've learnt so far and what's to come. Talking to co-founder Warren Mauger, Editor Nick Mann explains:
- people will pay for quality in-depth stories and to support a project they believe in
- letting people control how they consume news will be vital for the future, we're experimenting with that now through our paid members' exclusive app.
- the need to move beyond superficial use of AI to instead focus on empowering research and coding new information rich products.
- how we are moving to our next phase, in-person events to show people what we're doing, why and to hear their feedback.
