They move to Substack with all the opinion writers and SMEs worth heeding, where they aren't told by owners and editors and pressured by newsroom peers how to salt and slant their stories.
You aint no jury. Your just you and your views and opinions. Like the rest of us.
I was actually looking forward to seeing some interesting responses within the guidelines.
I have decided Canadians learned from my mistake and I have decided Canada is moving on.
Agreed. Jury is out. I'm still here.
How much does one get paid on substack?
Regarding news specifically, they've mostly stopped offering information of any importance. I occasionally watch what others are viewing. A typical segment goes like this:
Some claim to be making hundreds of thousands (US); many who are in the business claim to be making more than they were paid as employees. People using it as a blog replacement don't make those claims.
Interesting. I wonder if that's based on the American market or if Canadian journalists could find similiar success making a living wage
For clarity, restate your amended guidelines - carefully, since you had to change them - and commit to whatever you lay down this time - no more changes after you restate them.
Why? Do you think I would get any different answers other than the repeated let it burn?
I doubt I could adequately characterize it without you contradicting me. To avoid that, and to clarify the challenge you're claiming no one could meet, it would help if you laid it all down again, however it evolved over the past few rounds. If you're going to disqualify answers, it's best that the criteria are obvious and stated up front.
Does any of this have to do with the Liberal Minority government thread?
Sure, if the Liberals coming up with the idea of subsidizing media to encourage media to protect the hand that feeds them fits the subject.
What ways, other than subsidies, could traditional news media and journalists continue to exist in a fashion not dissimilar to the news we have now, where there are accredited journalists who follow ethical guidelines, fact checking, and accountability who are able to earn a predictable living wage while going about doing investigative journalism, local news, political commentary, news articles, debate hosting, leaks and source protection, investigating scandals and insider information in a credible manner and all the other ins and outs that traditional newspapers, news shows, news cycles, currently deliver to Canadians without letting the industry collapse due to lack to ad revenue, subscriptions and other ways to ensure steady revenue in lieu of subsidy money?
I thought he would, I didn't care if he did.
The current minority liberal government currently funds media via subsidies. It constantly gets brought up that the LPC buys the media's support during elections.
