It’s been a year since LION Publishers launched the on-demand version of the Sustainability Audit, available to all LION members at any time. Since then, 440 news businesses have completed the Audit a total of 480 times, a few dozen more than we did in the previous three years combined. This means that since 2022, we’ve conducted more than 900 Audits for nearly 600 news businesses.
We’ve learned a lot over the last five years. The Audit has become our main vehicle for measuring the overall health of independent news businesses using our Sustainability Pillars and maturity model, and increasingly, others are using it to do the same. And in our latest round of Audit data analysis, the first time we’ve had data from over 400 newsrooms in the same year, we came to an exciting conclusion: We know what real progress toward sustainability looks like for news businesses.
