This is why I want to make a case for why we must begin to think of journalism as a public good. A public good is a commodity or service that is provided to all members of the society for its benefit. To put is simply, quality journalism, like the sun, should shine on both the rich and poor. Societies with access to quality journalism are more likely to make more informed choices when it comes to voting and are more empowered to hold the authorities accountable. Fund that will assist the media to produce quality journalism without the headache of reporting profits to shareholders.
