You could imagine another approach:
A tax on any advertising appearing alongside text information (so not video or audio). And then a public service subsidy for local reporting.
Both could be totally technologically neutral.
- rpdillon 2mo ago> A tax on any advertising appearing alongside text information Interesting. Are you imagining classified ads would be impacted? What does "alongside" mean, in this context? It would be easy for Google, Facebook, and Instagram to remove ads on posts that carried news information. Having a tax on any ad alongside text might incentivize them to move to photos and video. TikTok would lobby for this.
