@vashbear @Moss there's a 5th: public funding. this doesn't mean "government run propaganda outlets", the money can be distributed by an independent trust which is essentially where a big chunk of NPR and PBS funding comes from via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The BBC is another example. Both NPR and BBC do some of the best journalism in the world imo and we should use this model a lot more. Journalism is a public good and the public should fund it accordingly
