A worthy initiative for the press. Unfortunately press is only one means of freedom of expression, speech, writing, demonstration, opposition, dissent and creative trouble-making-- and hardly objective due to its commercial objective and very loud-mouth, conceit, craven to power and vanity bred by constituional protection of its risk-averse cartel. Press has generated too many fortunes to be singled out for crowd-sourced support. Freedom of the Press is way too limiting, but then that is the nature of its organizers and board members. The rich ones in particular are notabably uninvolved in acitivities that would threaten their wealth and freedom to lord it over the poor fans being urged to crowd-fund just like venal politicians who also adore the press for amplifying their campaigns for dumping crocks of shit on the public. Far better would be for a huge increase in disorganized initiatives of the unruly crowd far from being controlled and exploited by lucrative investment in "crowd-sourcing." Watch out for the crowd-sourcing predators driving the market in the cloud, the latest invention for spying on and profiling the public for marketing profits. Dan Gillmor has been had by his friends, at best, at worst, complicit in the market boosting deception of obedient crowds.
