Actually it is a long standing rule that video isn't allowed in this spot. Your argument is not about self-censorship due to content, your argument is more about whether journos should break the rules and get their passes revoked for the story.

Capacity to ship/want to but they are struggling to get ppl to their stores bc of algorithms and social media monopolies. Can someone who knows something about tech, marketing and business tell me if this is plausible?

many of us are desperately dreaming about how to run our own publications so that we can continue to do journalism. I want to brainstorm in a whimsical way many different ways to financially sustain. Back in the day, local ads were a huge part of keeping a paper going...

Is there a way we can have our hypothetical national digital magazine founded by, owned and run by journalists that advertises these small business and online makers? As the journalism industry collapses,
