Pioneering news site MinnPost is extending its business model with a new strategy: Asking followers to contribute specifically in support of a staff writer, David Brauer. MinnPost CEO Joel Kramer explains: “If it works, we’ll brag about it all over the country, and pay some of our bills, too.. What you will NOT get is public recognition…because David Brauer does not want to know which individuals are supporting him.” So far, contributors have given $1,415.
