"Traditional" #journalism had its fair share of problems, but the rise of Google's advertising empire completely wrecked the primary source of income for most newspapers - and the remainder are gradually bought up by the fascist-adjacent business elite and turned into right-wing propaganda pieces.

Yet I do think that good journalism - delving into the facts of a situation, and explaining it to the public - is desperately needed. So how can we get more of it - and finance it, in this late-stage Capitalist hellscape we find ourselves in?

@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social are we talking about liveticker what happens this instant in every vorner of the world, or deep research stuff that takes a while to surface?

Mostly the latter. I mean, the former is spreading through social media all the time (although having better fact-checkers would be nice), but doing actual deep dives is a professional skill.

@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social we do have stuff like @riffreporter@mastodon.social and @Krautreporter@norden.social

Is this what you are longing for, or something different?

Pretty much this. So how do we get more of that?
