Publicly Funding Journalism in an Age when Everyone is a Journalist

With access to a computer and an Internet connection, anyone can act as a journalist today. More than just acting as journalists however, people are acting as publishers, as curators of the news, as editors and as opinion leaders and they exist in addition to the legacy media organizations that provide news through more traditional mediums. The sheer volume of content now available is un-deniable. The question then is: Should government be involved in funding any of it?

 

Avec un accès à un ordinateur et à une connexion Internet, n’importe qui peut aujourd’hui agir en tant que journaliste. Mais plus encore, les gens agissent comme éditeurs, conservateurs de l’actualité, rédacteurs en chef et leaders d’opinion, en plus des organisations médiatiques traditionnelles qui fournissent des informations par des moyens plus traditionnels. Le volume de contenu disponible est indéniable. La question est alors : est-ce que le gouvernement doit s’impliquer dans le financement de tout cela ?
