       The media crisis, which has deepened greatly as more journalists are laid off amid pandemic, means that the PR/B2B industry takes over what’s left of news sites; we need to counter this worrying trend http://techrights.org/2020/06/06/independent-media/

       @schestowitz Is that really going to happen when money is such an important aspect of journalism? Right now a couple news companies are having problems with billionaires who like to say they have a newspaper but don't want to lose money over it.#news #journalism #money

       @schestowitz I actually recall a few years back some discussion on papers going non-profit to escape the corporate world. The problem is that non-profits constantly need donations or they will die. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't#news #journalism #independent #nonprofit #money
