Journalism Crisis: A Way Forward
These days, it seems like every attempt at public policy gets called a bailout. But not all bailouts are good public policy, and not all good public policy requires a bailout. Sometimes, the public policy process is actually a way to create systemic change.
It’s this sort of solution we need if we are to contend with our journalism crisis – not a bailout of the old guard media system, but a national journalism strategy aimed at bringing together government, activists, industry and the public to craft policies that will support quality journalism.
Journalism Policy in the Spotlight
We created SaveTheNews.org to argue for the importance of public policy in discussions about the future of journalism. Last week, however, policy took center stage with three articles examining our government’s possible role in fostering a robust and diverse free press in America. The articles came from an array of sources – a scholar, a journalist and a pair of advocates – and appeared in newspapers across the country, from Washington, D.C., to Seattle.
