CoPress, the US student news service Journalism.co.uk has reported on in the past is closing down. It aimed to provide online hosting at affordable rates for students across the US, with development support. Its executive director Daniel Bachhuber explains why the team is halting the service:
“We’ve struggled with making our business financially viable while at the same time offering prices that reflect an understanding of the financial situation many student news organisations are in. This is even more apparent in that we’ve had to change our pricing structure twice in the past months.”
