The Huffington Post: Bail out investigative journalists
December 18th, 2008Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Journalism
Rob Kall imagines 10,000 investigative reporters being paid by the government an average of $75,000 each and spending a further $225 on 3,000 more editors. “That would cost less than a billion dollars and provide the nation with probably 50 times more investigative reports than we now have.”
