No, that's exactly my point; perhaps independent journalism, which doesn't seem viable given current economic patterns, can become self-sustainable through internet publishing and voluntary contributions by appreciative readers. There's plenty of good journalism to be done with just an internet connection, a phone and an inquiring mind, as long as you know you will be reimbursed.
At least I'd like to think so :-)
- stcredzero 17y agoThat only goes so far. And if you have people sitting in their apartments, living off contributions and tips, isn't it going to be easy for the powers that be to pay off a large number of bloggers? Won't the situation be manipulated to recreate the one we have today -- journalism as just an aggregate of PR from various sources -- just delivered more efficiently at lower cost?
