Paying for journalism

This might be a good idea… or a very stupid one. 

I opened Adium yesterday evening, and 1 minute afterwards, I had a message from a friend who asked right away if I knew something about the habs

I don’t know anything about hockey, but I do know how to find information, and after searching a little bit, I had clues on what was going to happen. What was funny was that I saw how so many people were browsing the web or asking others (twitter or any other communication medium) what was going on. Many wanted to know, right away, before they’d go to bed. God knows why. 

Anyway, this brings Roberto Rocha’s poll on how one would pay for good journalism content. I’m not sure if content is the key. I do know though that if i had the right info yesterday, and if there was a way to “reveal” it to all those fans, I could have managed to have a couple of thousands dollars in bank. So here it is, people would pay for:

  • personalized
  • customized
  • exclusive journalism
This would be equivalent to Yahoo! Answers but with payable answers and journalists selecting questions they are able to answer.

    I’m unsure if I agree with everything written but this was definitely informative and well-written.
