The Brooklyn Rail has a print circulation of 20,000 and an monthly online readership of a half-million, according to the site. It’s a nonprofit organization devoted to covering culture. It’s impressive to see that a print and news venture founded in 2000, as the first Internet boom went bust, has managed to hold on ever since.
