Bergmann.<\/p>\n<p>Hidden Compass launched their pioneering business model on October 13, through a fresh website and a new issue that celebrates journalists as heroes. Each contributor will receive their share of crowd-funding proceeds on top of the magazine\u2019s pay rates. The mission is to turn nerds \u2014 like journalists, scientists, artists, and explorers \u2014 into household names.<\/p>\n<p>The new model allows Hidden Compass to publish without relying on clicks, targeted advertising or selling user data. Drawing inspiration from farm-to-table trends in the food industry, the publication invites audiences to see and support where the stories they read are coming from.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in the era of junk food media,\u201d says Co-Founder Sivani Babu. \u201cBut we see a future where publications don\u2019t have to enable our addiction to clickable content. We see a future where journalism is sustainable. Hidden Compass is the first step towards that future. We\u2019re the antidote to clickbait.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiddencompass.net\">https:\/\/www.hiddencompass.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Hidden Compass:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hidden Compass was founded in 2017 and is based in Santa Barbara and Berkeley, California.
