It’s currently run as a part-time effort* by Elinor Comlay and Bill Sprouse, two reporters each with more than ten years’ experience writing and editing the news.
Bill and Elinor hope Route 40 will tie together communities from the beach to the suburbs of Philadelphia and beyond, giving readers engaging stories, incisive analysis and impactful journalism that will inspire engagement and hold local leaders accountable.
Route 40’s running costs are funded by reader contributions, with some revenue from advertising, events and merchandise sales. Our revenue is not yet enough to pay our salaries, however – we both work full time as freelance journalists.
