Well there are 3 alternatives.

Ads, which everyone on here would endorse blocking, so that’s out.

All journalism becomes volunteer work, running off of optional donations, which seems unlikely :D

Or all journalism becomes publicly funded via-taxes. This is probably the optimal option but I think most people would agree that ALL journalism being government funded has a ton of risks.

    If I have to pay for it:

    • it cannot be sensationalized. It cannot even veer mildly from the found facts.
    • it cannot be filled with agenda bias
    • it cannot hold any false, non peer reviewed information
    • they have to pay their sources. And They have to pay their sources well. Especially the ones who are expected to uphold to peer reviews (science journalists, I’m looking at you)

    If there is a free one with ads:

    • ads cannot fabricate their facts either.

    Wanna regulate? Well. Then. Let’s regulate.
