Journalism is broken

  • Nobody can afford to have subscriptions to the thousands of possible sources for articles
  • Knowing which sources of media are reasonable to support is difficult when paywalls block the vast majority of content
  • Journalists deserve to be paid for their work
  • Massive news organizations hold far too much power
  • Advertising has always been a part of journalism, newspapers had ads, and that's not great. News organizations are bound by self preservation to avoid criticizing those that pay them
  • Many articles have worth, only if promulgated, paywalls encourage people to only read the headline and accept it as truth

So, I'd like to comment on the article itself, but will not pay for it. Nothing for it I guess?

404 seems pretty good, but a bit narrow for my news tastes. They do bring in direct ad revenue on their podcast and probably indirect through YouTube, but I don’t consume it there.

The podcast has a more interesting where it’s free, but there is an extra segment at the end that is subscriber only (they also drop the ads for subs).
