The Arizona Digital Free Press Promise:

Arizona Digital Free Press Collective:
The Arizona Digital Free Press Collective is a true innovation in the business of digital media. Instead of taking 100% of proceeds the Digital Free Press Collective provides a profit-share plan based on real-time analytics. Like an artist allowing his or her music to be played on a platform, the amount of activity garnered will translate into more revenue for the artist but in our case, the journalist.
