Pay Ten Bucks for the Sunday Paper?

People share their views and comment on their lives and interests in blogs. They are unlikely to have editors or fact checkers reviewing their work, and there is no garauntee anyone will see them. It all sounds very unprofessional, when you consider bloggers are also unlikely to be getting paid. This, however is why I have taken an interest in blogs. With only their interests to spurr them on bloggers may be unlikely candidates for intervention by other interests. Journalism, has lost its luster as something that can carry the world to readers eyes. It is a systemized, channelled, and controlled form of media. No publications can afford to print without first considering the effect on their sponsers. Initially newspapers had it in their best interest to produce the most telling and provocative news because the more they did the larger their circulation was, and advertisers had to get on board if they wanted to reach people. What happened to make advertising the primary component of running a solvent paper? News and information quality are no longer what newsrooms run on. They deliver a set program that is followed religiously. Its consistent, and typically worthless. Big issues like explaining to Americans a realistic picture of where they are in the world economically, socially, scientifically, or govermentally are ignored. These subjects require attention and long term analysis and so should be relegated to the two paragraph blurb on sec D page 22. Obviously its more interesting to talk for ten minutes on a newscast about somebody winning the lottery then it is to mention what is going to happen to tens of thousands of peoples lives due to clauses in nearly any Farm Bill, but at some point poeple will have to get interested. That point will be when it is to late and it costs ten bucks to pay for a newspaper. When it is reached premium information will be worth ten bucks. It already is. If I could pay ten dollars for a no frills serious publication that sought the whole truth, the sponsors be damned, I would.
Who else then will be capable of reading the said ten dollar paper?
Most of us are accustomed to having our information pre-chewed and partially digested. Reading between the lines is for the crossword section. Currently the only people capable of paying seventy bucks a week for genuine information have other venues. They tend to be retailers and advertisers purchasing your information so they can better reach you in whatever publication they use. This information is then fitted to slide neatly down your throat. No need to chew it over. It will take people sliding down the slippery slope of poverty until even the fairly well educated professionals are in trouble before the majority of people are willing to relearn how they learn. Learn, in fact, how to learn.
How would you learn?
Could you teach?

At some point it reaches that point

Reality is not something easily questioned by people who have what they need available to them. It is, however, such people who have the time and energy to create and push for their perceptions of reality. Others can then be affected and drawn into their reality. Too many are left out; those too poor, too overworked, too close to reality people are the only ones who actually live in reality. They tend to produce everything except clear examples of their realities because at some point it reaches that point where they have to choose between working to death and starving to death. Reality is not something they have to question the answers are already evident.
