Nieman Reports
Chicago News Cooperative editor-in-chief James O’Shea says journalists need to hit the streets and create something that people will actually pay for because it has value. “For decades we’ve relied almost exclusively on advertising revenue to subsidize the cost of news coverage,” he writes. “But I doubt that advertising will remain a reliable partner or source of revenue to provide the kind of resources needed to cover the news anymore.”
If we don’t figure out how to finance public service journalism, I fear the consequences. It is not as if the world of tomorrow will be one without news. We will have quality coverage, perhaps better than ever. But quality news will be for the wealthy—those who can afford to pay $2 a day or about $6 on Sunday for The New York Times or thousands of dollars a year for a subscription to one of Bloomberg’s targeted services.
O’Shea’s piece runs in the Summer 2011 Nieman Reports, along with essays by D. Parvaz (“Landing in Al Jazeera’s Vibrant Newsroom”); Bill Mitchell (“Focusing a New Kind of Journalism on a City’s Needs”); Alicia Shepard (“Online Comments: Dialogue or Diatribe?”); and many others.
