Yeah, I still dont get why people can’t just work for for free! Greedy bastards.
Especially publishers. It’s not like they play an important role in modern society, at all. They can do research, perform interviews and write stories during the day, and then, if they absolutely need food and a friggin’ roof over their heads, they can work at McDonald’s or something in the evenings.
News agency should’ve been operated by non-profit organizations IMO. The non-profit organizations can be funded by grants, donations, etc (e.g. like how wikimedia is funded).
Probably not the best idea though for independent journalism. My country had a publicly funded news agency and it was notorious for never reporting any bad thing the government did.
Well I’m glad we all agree that “universal access” always has a cost, so unless you want to nationalize the press I’m not sure what y’all want.
Maybe we can just leave them a profit driven third party that you are legally required to support with your taxes? Seems like praxis to me, no problems with that at all.
Universal access, as in everyone need to pay 8 dollars a month for the privilege.

Or public, like the BBC for example.

I mean, libraries do cost you money too. You just don’t see the itemized bill.
Taxes are the subscription fee of life.
