- justsee 8y agoAbsolutely. In the political sphere: the current system allows both politicians and news publications to play access games for favourable coverage as you've described. One system design that is worth exploring: randomised access by accredited journalists / press outfits. In this system interested parties register their interest to ask a question (from an accredited list of journalists / news publications). That list is used to randomly select `n` questioners to put their question to be answered.
