We are about to put out a list of revenue opportunities available to online news organizations. Hopefully your students will find some ideas that will work in Uruguay. First, though, you should take a look at Spot.Us. An experiment in community funded reporting. Readers fund stories they want to read by making small donations. http://www.spot.us/ Hope this helps!

But here is my question regarding all this. We are a 3 million people country with a really poor advertising market. People are also concentrated in the capital city (the half of the population). Moreover, as you may know, the charity donation, or non-profit, or foundations culture is not developed in Latin America as in the United States and also there are no much resources. So, what are your suggestions when I try to encourage my students to think in new proyects for investigative journalism and new business models?
