So what's the solution to this? Publicly funding journalism nearly no-strings attached so that they have guaranteed income and can better focus on actual news?
But then that creates a conflict in interest when the story involves the funder.
It might create that potential, but if done properly, there can be independence.
In Canada, the CBC regularly reports on things that show the government of the day in a negative light.
Same with the BBC in the UK.
