DISQUS

eee_eff · 1 year ago

Well though another process which is occurring is that newspapers are emerging as not for profits. There’s no reason why we can’t have great newspapers, run as not-for-profits.

What’s more important–a vibrant and free press, whose goals would be the public good, or one that is owned by corporate interests, for profit.

The benefits of a free press extend very far beyond the profitability of the newspapers as business entities.

The real issue here is this: Are Newspapers only economic entities, or are they important for other reasons, like exposing corruption and fostering a wide ranging public debate?
