The virtues of having independent for-profit journalism are repeated often. I wonder what a world without it would look like. Poorly researched influencer pushed info? More ideological bubbles? Would that be a net loss? I don't know. With the utter embarrassment that mainstream reporting of the pro-Palestine anti-genocide protests has been, one could argue they already do more harm than good, but that is probably an overly broad assumption.
