[GPSCC-chat] Counter-Inaugural Convergence

[Spencer Graves]

       I believe that for-profit journalism model threatens humanity:  
Robert McChesney and others have proposed citizen-directed subsidies for 
non-commercial investigative journalism with transparent funding that 
puts everything they produce on the web in the public domain.


       My prospectus on this is available at 
"EndowmentForJournalism.org".  I'm looking for collaborators to hep 
launch this initiative.


       What do you think?
       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves
