Working on a way to address this. New business models for journalism are all the rage at journalism schools these days.

Write awesome article, include bitcoin address, get paid; the effect is, bad journalists don't make cash, thus go back to doing something they're fit for, like sales rep or pit pat piffy wing wong wang (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.msg4032831#msg4032831), and good journalists make a nice living doing what they're good at.  With all the bad journalists out of the way, the good journalists get far more exposure, and so make more money from their endeavors.  Journalists no longer work for any given company, but instead pay a certain fee per month/year or per publish whatever to have their own spot on a platform to journal and get their articles out there. The best of the best float to the top, people get great articles with actual content, and thus, the free press is saved.
