Broadband Breakfast at LION Publishers' Conference

The video recapping LION Publishers's Independent News Sustainability Summit last year beings with this quote from Mazin Sidahmed , co-executive director, Documented, another LION Publishers member:

"There isn't any other space where you, as an independent publisher, can go to really find your people."

And that's a great description of what Broadband Breakfast finds valuable about being a member of this group, for nearly three years now.

LION Publishers' annual conference begins this week, in St. Louis. Once again, Broadband Breakfast will be participating.

The organization's acronym stands for Local Independent Online News, and it bridges the worlds of journalism and tech entrepreneurship. LION Publishers focused on three core sustainability pillars: Financial health, operational resilience, and journalistic impact.

What to expect at LION Publishers' event in St. Louis

As a national special-interest publication and community, Broadband Breakfast doesn't necessarily check the "Local" box. But as an Independent, Online, News organization, we have found the community associated with it to be indispensable.
