The CT Mirror, a non-profit news site, has started accepting advertising. Until recently it relied on sponsorships and contributions:
The Connecticut Mirror does not accept political campaign advertising. Political campaign advertising includes advertising on behalf of or in opposition to a candidate or slate of candidates for elective office, whether placed by a candidate, political party, PAC, corporation, individual or other entity. It may at times include issue based advertising, when a particular issue is closely identified with a candidate or candidates. The Mirror accepts affirmative advertising from issue groups that does not endanger its nonprofit or nonpartisan status, is in sync with its mission of promoting civic engagement and civil, informed discourse, and which is not political campaign advertising.
