"Traditional" #journalism had its fair share of problems, but the rise of Google's advertising empire completely wrecked the primary source of income for most newspapers - and the remainder are gradually bought up by the fascist-adjacent business elite and turned into right-wing propaganda pieces.
Yet I do think that good journalism - delving into the facts of a situation, and explaining it to the public - is desperately needed. So how can we get more of it - and finance it, in this late-stage Capitalist hellscape we find ourselves in?
