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]
