The Incline is an online newspaper focused on the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania region. Launched in 2016, the news outlet curates syndicated content and produces original stories aimed towards millennials. Instead of ads, The Incline's revenue comes from events. The best known of which is their "Who's next" event series. In March 2019, The Incline was acquired by WhereBy.Us. Spirited Media founded Philadelphia's web-only local news site Billy Penn in 2014. Billy Penn functions as a mixture of links to news articles produced by other outlets with its own original reporting mixed in. Rather than direct ad sales, Billy Penn found success with an event-based business model. Spirited Media looked for new cities to deploy it in. In 2016, Pittsburgh was identified as the second city after major investments came from Gannett. The Incline deviated from Billy Penn, by selling ads upon its introduction in order to gain exposure and awareness. More information...
