  • Newsgathering power.

Jeff Bezos endowment

  • Enter the Internet news voucher. Under our proposal, each news article on the web will end by asking readers whether it contributed to their political understanding. If so, they can click the yes-box, and send the message to a National Endowment for Journalism -- which would obtain an annual appropriation from the government. This money would be distributed to news organizations on the basis of a strict mathematical formula: the more clicks, the bigger the check from the Endowment.
  • a news organization must have a group of editors and fact-checkers committed to journalistic integrity.
  • Although the Internet may have destroyed the newspaper's old business model, we can use it to create a new decentralized system that may generate an even more vibrant marketplace of ideas for the twenty-first century.

    This article gives us a possible outlook on the future of online newspaper websites. Video journalism is an emerging trend, and it provides greater economical benefits from its advertisements than regular web based ads. This can help move some forms of online news from paywalls to being "free to the public", since they make up for profits with advertisements.

    This journal article is very descriptive of the turnaround from 6 cent papers to penny papers. It tells the story of Benjamin Day and how he changed past newspapers into the modern, mass media newspapers that we see today (whether print or web). Benjamin Day aimed at a cheaper newspaper with more content for New Yorker's alone, not just businessmen / politicians. In doing so, he also created a business model in which is still being used in some aspects today.
