Try about half that and no allowance.

Is that so bad? I guess our spin control is spinning out of control! Many novel news models will fill the void and it will be a bitter sweet ride for sure.

I can see international news increasingly going down this route as it is both cheaper and in many ways just better. Shaky business model? Hey, who doesn't?

Shaky business model? Hey, who doesn’t?

I disagree that the stringers will get disillusioned through share dilution. Share dilution is not an issue if the overall value of the company is going up. We ran a similar model for the Millennium Photo Project a few years back. If people feel part of something that is breaking new ground, that's far more motivating anyway. I wish the project well!

Lets face it the demand for quality journalism from across the globe is not going down...only up. The key is to create a new model for the creation and syndication of this information. The traditional media outlets are saddled with debt and large cost structures that are forcing a retrenchment in their businesses. GlobalPost is created by very smart and forward thinking journalists. I am a big fan that they find the correct balance on quality and business model to make this a big success.

I like to keep up with world news, but I get plenty of information from CNN and the like. The only people I see being interested are the ones that have come from the specific countries they subscribe to. That being said, at least the news industry is starting to think outside the box, and actually try and provide information the way many people are getting it these days...through the internet. It will interesting to see what happens.
