I once thought of a way to fix journalism, which is broken mainly because --IMHO-- it's paid by media, who are often (aspiring) big corps, and thus act accordingly. My idea was to to allow tax-free tipping of journalists when their pieces meet certain standards, like: freely available, freely re-distributable, non-commercial, registered in some central db, and allows (and should be) amended/retracted in case it contained false hoods. The tips go through a central system that adds up the total, and that total should be shown on the original place the article/video/piece was posted: this should help others to see that "self published journalism" pays and thus recruit new journalists along the way. It was just an idea...
