Expand access to high-quality journalism so reliable information isn’t limited by income. It supports funding models that keep trusted news sustainable while reducing reliance on misinformation.
News Paywall Reform focuses on expanding access to high-quality journalism while reducing the spread of misinformation. Today, many trusted news outlets rely on paywalls to survive, which limits access for lower-income readers and pushes people toward free content that is often less reliable or sensationalized. This solution explores funding and access models—such as public subsidies, library-style access, or shared civic licenses—that allow essential journalism to remain financially sustainable while being broadly accessible to the public.
Support alternative revenue models that fund professional journalism without relying solely on subscriptions or ad-driven clicks.
Reduce reliance on low-quality or misleading news sources by making trusted reporting easier to access.
Ensure people of all income levels can read credible, in-depth reporting—not just what’s freely available online.
Strengthen democratic participation by ensuring voters have access to accurate, contextual information about public issues.
