On Tuesday, Mr. Ralston will set off on his own with The Nevada Independent, a nonprofit, donation-based news website that he hopes will add more journalistic heft to the coverage of state politics. “We want to focus more on how policies affect real people,” Mr. Ralston said, adding that the site will emphasize data and polling. “I have to tell you I think there was a real appetite out there for this,” Mr. Ralston said. “Everyone knows what the media environment is here,” Mr. Ralston said. “If the state of the media in Nevada helps us get donations, I’m fine with that.”
