I understand that newspapers need support through subscriptions, but I often worry about about how this makes reliable information a luxury for those with the means to afford it.
Meanwhile misinformation & disinformation are widely accessible & free. #news #journalism
@Sheril Misinformation and disinformation are not free. Propaganda requires meticulous planning and coordination to be maximally effective. Those who stand to profit most from mis/disinformation are more than willing to pay whatever is necessary to get their message out to whoever needs to hear it.
"He who pays the piper calls the tune."
If the media is to serve the best interests of people, then people need to pay for it. Nothing's free.
