McClatchy is making changes to its Compass Experiment. The effort is a local news laboratory founded by McClatchy and Google News Initiative’s Local Experiments Project.
The Compass Experiment started Mahoning Matters in Youngstown, Ohio, in 2019 and The Longmont Leader in Longmont, Colorado, in 2020. The plan was to start another local news operation, but market conditions shifted, according to a Medium post from Mandy Jenkins, the general manager of the Compass Experiment.
Going forward, Mahoning Matters will be directly operated by McClatchy’s news division, Jenkins writes. Eric Nelson of the Kansas City Star will serve as senior editor for the Compass Experiment.
Compass Experiment partners Village Media will take over The Longmont Leader, says the post. The paper will join the Canada-based company’s network of owned and operated local news websites.
The Compass central team, including Jenkins, will be leaving the project and the company, says the post.
