The issue is that we as a society need diverse and independent newspapers.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoSo, when are we getting that then?
- brainwad 8y agoNo we don't. I get my news from public broadcasters. They have the bonus of not pushing the owner's political agenda and being subject to public oversight.
- stefano 8y agoPublic broadcasters are always very soft on the party currently in power, since that's basically their boss. You need both public and private news.
- brainwad 8y agoNot always true, although they do tend to be soft on their own country. In either case you can solve that just by reading multiple countries' public news.
- C14L 8y agoAgreed. But this approach is not going to achieve that. On the contrary.
- notyourday 8y agoTrue, but if there's one thing that we did learn over last decade or so is that the old guard newspapers are neither diverse nor independent.
- logifail 8y agoWhy stop at newspapers? How about diverse and independent provision of pretty much everything? People don't appear to want this, of course. Pity.
- mar77i 8y agoYeah. Start a newspaper that talks about such issues honestly, not like those so-called journalistic conglomerates that curate "local" newspapers across whole countries. The issue comes from companies that were too powerful before they went to ask google for money.
