Below I have included an interview with Paul Jay, founder of therealnews, where he discusses the problems with current journalism practice and his own plans for therealnews on PBS.
Jay is hoping he can kick off a online video service funded purely with viewer contributions that will represent the story from outside a mainstream framework. The hope is that this kind of service can counter the mainstream news that supported the U.S government in its illegal invasion of Iraq and is currently cheerleading for an attack on Iran.
The problems with this model under the current system are numerous. Lack of internet access, lack of media alternative awareness, lack of financial ability. These are just a few of the wider (governmental responsibility) problems that therealnews is going to have to work around and without funding from foundations, corporations or state growth is going to be a hard slog.
