Yesterday’s #cfund debate on future business models for online news and journalism had plenty of ideas and voices in the mix.

Journalism.co.uk dipped in and out, but for those of you who want to read the whole thing there’s a Tweet stream and the CoverItLive version.

A handy round-up from participant Paul Balcerak, who writes on Wired Journalists about his key points in the debate:

• ‘Let the market handle it’ = do nothing
• Sponsorship for distribution e.g. people who care about journalism should invest in profitable industries outside of journalism and reinvest the profits in news
• Someone needs to try something

Other interesting titbits:

• A whopping 85 per cent against paying for news on a poll during the debate
• Create an online/offline community around a news brand and that community will pay for news online (well it used to work for paid-for newspapers didn’t it?)
• Micropayments have potential if they are used without building a wall around newspapers (from @NewspaperWorld)
