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. <br>
<br>
<br>
My prospectus on this is available at
"EndowmentForJournalism.org". I'm looking for collaborators to hep
launch this initiative. <br>
<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
Thanks, <br>
Spencer Graves<br>
