‘We Need to Separate Capitalism and Journalism’
"The government is always involved in our news information systems. But the question is, how should it be involved?"
Whoever manages to find a working way of separating Capitalism, Journalism, State, and Church... should get the Nobel Peace Prize of the deca-millennium.
The path to a solution for journalism is a funding mechanism that is a mixture of quadratic funding by Zoë Hitzig, Glen Weyl and Vitalik Buterin and artistic freedom vouchers that Dean Baker proposed. These are mechanisms where the public directly decides what news sources receive public funding.
