It cheers me endlessly that the majority of HN commenters really grok the news situation -- it's essential for society, has no business model, there aren't yet any valid alternatives. It seems simple spelt out, but it's amazing how many people both inside the industry and out don't get it. And if they don't get the problems, they're never going to find the solutions.
- acgourley 18y agoI just wish there was a technical solution. It feels like the only real solution is boiling down the industry until the best players survive and have room to grow again. I think another hope to look to is a growing public understanding of the problem. As the news situation sinks in with the most people, I hope it will become a point of honor to pay for quality reporting, and I hope there will be easy avenues to channel this money.
