The whole business model of journalism seems broken. I&#x27;d love to see a crowd-funded journalism portal that takes the &#x27;patreon&#x27; model and extends it to a stable of well-trained independent journalists and provides them with an overall support structure of editorial oversight, illustration &amp; layout support, etc, etc.<p>In place of advertisement, the portal could run their own messaging to fund various initiatives (raise x amount in order to bring on a tech reporter for x number of articles a year, etc, etc).  Users could choose to fund specific reporters at x amount per month, or just donate directly to the portal for day-to-day operational expenses.
