LION/GNI launch bootcamp for news entrepreneurs

The eight-week effort is aimed at for-profit and not-for-profit news startups. “The point of the virtual bootcamp isn’t to launch a news startup in eight weeks, but to help journalists think as business owners and make their ideas less risky,” NiemanLab writes of the curriculum.
