    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.
