News agency should've been operated by non-profit organizations IMO. The non-profit organizations can be funded by grants, donations, etc (e.g. like how wikimedia is funded).
Or public, like the BBC for example.
Probably not the best idea though for independent journalism. My country had a publicly funded news agency and it was notorious for never reporting any bad thing the government did.
Speaking from the US, so please forgive my underlying bias:
If we could figure out how to actually maintain a "separation of powers" maybe we could actually have a little more "for the people, by the people". And I don't mean it as just a US standpoint (though I am quoting our doctines), because I do believe that those ideologies have merit. But here I am in the US, still "wondering" how "separation of church and state" can't be (and never truly was) maintained.
People hold the power AND people need to be held accountable. I really wish we could find a way to balance that appropriately. Maybe simply throwing around a few more "-isms" could fix it (the last sentence is sarcasm)
