I work in non-profit media and it's really tough. Getting funds from membership is an uphill battle. Executive comp is much lower than private media, but at the same time it's relentlessly criticized for being too high because the numbers are disclosed. The Baltimore Banner exists based on the personal largesse of one person who tried and failed to buy the Baltimore Sun so it's going to have a hard time maintaining impartiality or surviving in a competitive market.
