Good idea to save journalism?
TomOfTTB: You aren't talking about Journalism you're talking about research and you can already hire a researcher.Journalism isn't about finding answers it's about finding truth.  Despite what people think of him now Richard Nixon was a tremendously popular President (the electoral vote count in '72 was 570 to 17) so most were not asking for him to be exposed.  But Journalists did and it was exactly what they should have been doing.The problem with Journalism now is it's been corrupted.  Now we have Liberal MSNBC and Conservative Fox News and they both are just spin machines for their side's agenda.  That's where tech comes in because people simply don't trust Journalists anymore so they are looking more and more to other sources.As for saving journalism I don't think true journalism needs it.  My favorite modern example of true journalism is Bob Woodward's book "Plan of Attack".  During the 2004 election it was recommeneded by both the Bush and Kerry camps and it was a best seller because of it.Because truth appeals to everyone.
