Maybe the reporters would get more support if they would do something like ask their local politicians real questions, such as this one for Romer or Groff:
With Google having a keen interest in new mobile spectrums I would differently want the iphone mobi users clicking into my phone website. For example if I want to know the Colorado Rocky's baseball score is I could TEXT message IDT Rocky for the latest score for a fee? Every penny could be used for the company plus deals with mobi phone providers could have IDT preloaded in their Denver phones. Imagine 20 thousand subscribers for mobi news for $3.00 that's $60,000 should be English Spanish
One thing has to be clear is the Rocky news is now going to be on the World wide web as in they need to do "World" coverage which can be done with a "Small" staff. I think the fee isn't that steep many news sites lets you read a paragraph if you want the whole story you have to play for it. Rocky could have photographers taking Hollywood pics one picture could be worth millions which could be used for staff & equipment. For those who doesn't want to pay I would divert them to a ad site.
And if I may add, I am not in journalism (or have any member in journalism). I am a subscriber.
With the Seattle PI shutting down tomorrow (Hearst is going Online only starting Weds) and several others next, it will be interesting to see how newspapers adapt to the technology and distribution. And to see if the Rocky staff (or PI staff) can make Online work. I hope so.
News isn't free. someone has to gather the news, and they are paid. most free news web content is from wire services (who pay the reporters) and are more national in focus. AP is not going to carry city council meetings or follow a local story from beginning to end (like the Colorado Historical Museum attempt to move into the Civic Center for example) Littwin correctly once pointed out that current online news sources is feeding national wire or collecting various news sources to a site.
what was that? i never seen someone do that beforethat was hilarious... i didnt see that one comming haha [=

I pledged, but if the liberal BS comes out more than usual I'll pull my funding.
Liberalsim is what killed the Rocky.
