Saving Journalism -- Where Should $ Go?

Every week brings new proposals to save newspapers or investigative reporting. In Bailout for Media Moguls? (a critique of the recent John Nichols/Bob McChesney article in The Nation), indy media trailblazer DeeDee Halleck argues that support and subsidies need to go to independents and grassroots/local content providers, not big media corporations. Similarly, Tracy Van Slyke of The Media Consortium argues on the British Guardian website that any federal endowment for investigative journalism must include independent journalists and outlets, not just corporate media.
