  • DO WE NEED JOURNALISM TO ACTIVATE? -- RJI Five virtual participant Peggy Holman, director of Journalism That Matters, makes a bold argument in a new set of essays. She argues we need journalism that not only informs, but also engages, inspires and activates us to be free and self governing. How does this square with the notion of "we print, you decided" or the notion of journalist as standing complete to the side of action? READ HOLMAN'S REQUEST FOR RESPONSE.
  • HOW TO KEEP JOURNALISM PROFITABLE -- RJI Five partiicpant Pekka Pekkala, a Finnish journalist and USC-Annenberg scholar, is working on a book about how to keep journalism profitable.
  • ARE SUBSIDIES AN ANSWER? -- Robert McChesney is a media scholar who's work goes beyond the academy. A co-founder of the non-profit FreePress.net (Free Press staffer Josh Stearns is with us at RJI Five) he argues the Founding Fathers intended postal subsidies for circulating newspapers as a recognition of the "public good" function of journalism. Explore his argument.
