<blockquote>The  AltWeeklies Content Exchange allows all members to privately share  photo and video with one another. This means when a story breaks in  Washington, Colorado can have access; if something of note happens in  New Orleans, Portland can also run it.

Collaborate,  Share Content, Co-fund longform stories. Hyper-local publications like  yours regularly run local takes of a national story (e.g. Presidential  Elections/Occupy Wall Street/SOPA, etc). Now you can have a bank of  media from around the country that you can use.

You  may think that your hyper-local news doesn’t have a national audience,  but think of the last year – was there any piece of content from your  paper that went viral? Any newsworthy event that happened locally that  went around the country or the world?

Chances  are you have at least few, and they can be syndicated to the Washington  Post, New York Times, or even the Moscow Daily. By selling licenses to  just one popular story you can make between $15-50K; sell a few and you  can double your editorial budget. Best of all, you don’t have to change a  thing – just go out and get the best local content as usual." <strong>Source:</strong> <a href="http://altweeklies.cont3nt.com/" target="_blank">altweeklies.cont3nt.com</a></blockquote>
