Harmony Cooperative is a major local non-profit newspaper published in the city of Harmony, the smallest of the city's major publications and the largest of Harmony's non-profit newspapers. Harmony Cooperative is known for providing non-mainstream viewpoints regarding local and regional news, a contrast to its primary conventional for-profit local competitors, the Harmony Inquirer and the Harmony Ideas.
As with most non-profit newspapers, a volunteer board of directors representing specific under-represented segments of the region's population maintain ownership of the newspaper. The Harmony Cooperative dedicates alternates one column per day dedicated to the viewpoint of one of the constituencies represented by one of the newspaper's chairships. The newspaper's professional editorial management oversees assigning these editorials to their authors as a firewall between editorial decisions and the newspaper's board.
With a Local Edition circulation of 859,000 and a Regional Edition circulation of 280,000 throughout the Brookeview Ludwig Megalopolitan Complex, the Harmony Cooperative maintains a total circulation of 1,139,000 and experiences an average readership of 4,279,000, making it the smallest of Harmony's major publications.
Harmony Cooperative earns 2,161,000μ in revenue per AU primarily from subscriptions, circulation, membership fees, and charitable donations. The Cooperative, like most non-profit newspapers, sells little advertising and does not derive an appreciable income from it. With a newsstand price of 32mμ, the Cooperative is slightly more expensive than its mainstream counterparts, however readers who are interested in the newspaper's viewpoints are generally pleased to pay a slight premium to see under-represented voices amplified.
