- Spare a dime for news? Rethinking free content on the Web

Since Colorado Public Radio secured a spot on the dial last year for a news channel (KCFR at 90.1 FM), I’ve come to rely on it during my 40-mile commute to and from work. In a world of shrinking newsrooms, CPR and National Public Radio continue to do great work.
During a pledge drive promo this week, a CPR announcer asked listeners to imagine their lives without the station. Sure, it’s a strange business model, the announcer noted: The station provides content and then people send in contributions to keep it running.
Doesn’t sound strange at all, actually.
