We need media to have a functioning democracy. It's a real conundrum. Media enterprises were fat and happy and have continually failed to adjust. There has to be a way to make it work financially, but even the current pay wall thing is broken.
I don't understand why these former newspapers don't create a Spotify-type concept for local media organizations. Am I going to pay to subscribe to the Austin Statesman to read one article. No the hell not. But, what if I paid 10.99 a month to read content from any organization I want?
There has to be a way.
