I guess I would urge the committee to look for solutions that are beneficial to public interest journalism, regardless of what kind of business model it operates within. I'd like to see solutions that benefit the function within traditional media of public interest journalism. That's aside from any other things they might do in their newspaper, TV station, or whatnot. I don't know what that looks like. Maybe it is something like the TV journalism fund. I'm not sure. Maybe there is a fund for local reporting that is accessible to all types of media, regardless of whether they're online only or not.
I think some of the solutions that could benefit traditional media may also benefit organizations like ours, but not necessarily. I think we'll need separate things to stimulate our sector. Maybe that's a start-up fund that new experiments can access in order to get going. Maybe that's an expanded role for the periodical fund.
