New Media and the Future of Journalism Saving the News: Towards a National Journalism Strategy
This report, which can be downloaded in its entirety from http://www.freepress.net/media_issues/journalism is written by Victor Pickard, Josh Stearns and Craig Aaron, for the national media reform organization Free Press. In it, the authors lay out several ideas for saving the news, and address the crisis from a policy standpoint. The ideas include:
- nonprofit, low-profit and cooperative models
- community and municipal models for future journalism
- foundation and endowment support
- public and government models - news commercial models
- public subsidies and policy intervention
IMHO the Commies have won - Nikita Kruschev would be soooooooooo proud.
