    Question: do we think free news is of equal quality to the big outlets (which are often paywalled) ?

    researching real stories and not just parroting propaganda for billionaires has costs. Requiring a copy/paste of the article sort of gives you the best of both worlds.

          mm, true. I suppose a better explanation are media organisations that have extensive transparency.

            I guess since you’re aren’t being specific we will all see for ourselves what kind of impact this has. It doesn’t sound like you are looking for feedback.

            edit: nvm looks like you changed it, thanks

            How does free articles relate to transparency? It just means their funding scheme isn’t people paying for articles. If anything that makes it more likely they need to rely on less transparent funding.

              Transparent as in you can see their inner workings and what standards they hold themselves accountable to. Free articles doesn’t equal quality
