Maybe we’ll see move towards publicly or philanthropically funded news sources. I can see why having a high quality news source would be an attractive recipient of donations for some people. I’ve already seen the New York Times push this a little bit, asking me to donate to pay for student subscriptions. This model has some obvious downsides, since the news source is now beholden to publish views that their donors like, and the donor class is likely going to be more concentrated and more opioniated than a normal subscriber. but it’s still not too different than what we have now.
