I feel like I must comment on the discussion about the Future of the Media in NZ brought about by Better Broadcasting NZ.
The best minds overseas are thinking the ultimate format will be a subscription based podcast online network
As audio is the quickest way to convey information surprisingly most people feel better paying donations if they
feel they are doing their civic duty to keep a good product going. Also meaning Journalism can be pure Journalism once the
Media is free of the commercial market place.
The Young Turks, Waking up with Sam Harris, RNZ, the BBC and the New York Times are going down this road as we speak. Although the NY Times probably only needs the subscriptions for the optics and the state broadcasters are already public funded.
I guess broadcast TV will just become comforting background noise for lonely people or chopped up for Youtube.
