WyoFile is a nonprofit news organization covering Wyoming news and politics which was founded in 2008, and incorporated in 2009.
WyoFile was conceived when Rone Tempest and other recently retired journalists in Wyoming were conversing about the decline of local media. They imagined a digital focused organization which could cover news across the state.[1] Early on, WyoFile's writing was done predominantly by freelancers, and the newspaper frequently faced insolvency, however by 2011 it had gained 2 full time staffers.[2][1] In 2022, 56% of WyoFile's revenue came from individual donors.[1] The newspaper has also gotten funding from philanthropic organizations like the Knight Foundation and American Journalism Project.[3][4]
WyoFile has been categorized as left-leaning. Its first grant was from the George B. Storer Foundation, which is associated with Liz Storer, who is a Democratic member of the Wyoming House of Representatives.[1] Additionally, it has a syndication agreement with States Newsroom.[5]
Notable stories
[edit]At WyoFile, Rone Tempest covered financial mismanagement at North American Power Group, eventually leading to the $14.4 million dollar fine and 18-month sentencing of Michael J. Ruffatto.[6]
