Journalism needs investing very badly. Wild, risky investment. The efforts so far clearly have not been big enough swings because there isn't a newsroom out there that really has a business model right now. Everything you dislike about journalism right now, I promise, is downstream from the fact that there's no real business model. Not one that's replicable and works, like in the newspaper era. One of the things about that era that journalists today haven't really gotten over is the fact that, then, the newsroom didn't really need to think about business. It was walled off. Because news wasn't really the business. It was a loss leader. The business was delivering grocery store inserts house-to-house in a vessel that people would open and see those inserts. News has to find its new grocery store insert system and that will take bets.
