Two reporters fired amid widespread industry-wide layoffs this year are launching a nonprofit organization to protect other journalists from a similar fate as big tech companies continue to threaten the industry's viability.
Laura Bassett, a former culture and political reporter at HuffPost, and John Stanton, a former BuzzFeed News Washington bureau chief, founded the Save Journalism Project. It aims to save the industry from the "monopolistic power of big tech companies," according to a news release.
According to the Save Journalism founders, firms like Google and Facebook dominate the digital advertising market, distributing news content without paying to produce it and dismantling traditional newspapers and digital news outlets.

Two reporters from Huff Post and Bussfeed lose their jobs.
You think they might want to do something useful with their lives and contribute to society.
But no, they form what they call the Save Journalism Project whatever that is.

LOL. Hahahahahahahahahaha. Save Journalism? Because a couple pretentious asses get fired? What a joke. How full of yourself do you have to be to think that a couple of these liberal hacks getting fired means that you need to launch a campaign to “Save Journalism.”

It aims to save the industry from the "monopolistic power of big tech companies," Not unlike the stranglehold Main Stream Media had on America for decades? With their liberal agenda totally corrupting the country?
Stop it. I'm gettin' misty.

Two reporters from Huff Post and Bussfeed lose their jobs. If two reporters from Huff Post and Bussfeed lose their jobs in the woods and no one else is there, do they make any noise?

It's code for "we want journalists to receive public subsidies".

Laid-off, want to save ‘journalism’? Fine. Start your own web-based ‘paper’, be real journalists instead of pundits, and get ‘patron’ support to fund it. That’s the model. Don’t rely on ‘big journalism’ to save you. You got laid off from that.

If they would discard their bias and report news from a conservative perspective, they’d get rich... and quick.
