“FTC explores future of journalism in Internet age” states “With the media business in a state of economic distress as audiences and advertisers migrate online, the Federal Trade Commission began a two-day workshop Tuesday to examine the profound challenges facing media companies and explore ways the government can help them survive.”
It continues “Among the options being discussed: tax law changes that would allow media companies to earn tax credits or become tax-exempt entities, and copyright law changes that would force search engines and other online aggregrators to compensate media companies for the content they produce.”
WATCHDOG: A wag of the tail.
“…explore ways the government can help them survive.”
I don’t think this is a good allocation of our tax dollars.
