Buy Back The Media! Rewards for Reporters! Cash for Whistle Blowers |
|
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 11:47 AM by DUreader
If a fund were set up that people could channel donations toward
reporters who get paid for reporting certain stories or asking certain
questions, would folks donate.
Maybe have extra general funds for reporters who get fired as a result.
It is a vague idea right now but the model is like MoveOn's pol ads
and the Dean Dozen type thing.
Also a separate fund, same type of model, cash for whistle blowers whose
charges prove true.

1. the whistle blower fund might work, but it would have to be a large sum |
|
as the whistle blower would need protection and super lawyers.
