Global Vue questions:
Do you measure and track who visits your site? Can you tell how people are finding the site? How? Are your visitors mostly local or do you have repeat visitors from far away? Does Google bring you many visitors? Technorati? Facebook? How many people visit the site weekly?
Are you nonprofit or for-profit? Where does most of your revenue come from (if you feel comfortable sharing)?
Is your site self-sustaining? How long did it take to get to a self-sustaining level, or how long do you estimate it will take?
Do you pay contributors? Do you count on parents or students at nearby colleges to help you staff the site? What are the stories and dynamics of that? Do you spend lots of time teaching people journalism skills? Do you deal with lots of conflicts of interest?
Is "citizen" journalism just a rebirth of community newspapering? Haven't small community newspapers always printed reader-generated content?How many hours a week do you personally spend on the site?
What kinds of ethical dilemmas or conflicts of interest have you faced? What kind of technical and design issues?
What do you think of all the talk and movement these days from traditional newspaper organizations these days seeking to transform newsrooms?
What should I have asked that I didn't ask?
