I think France are trying to model of taxing ISPs and splitting the money among publishers.

I actually like that. A extra 10£/$/€ a month isn't that much and would be quite a lot for news organisations.

The issue is how to split the money. I'd want to only support investigative journalism, but that's a hard thing to define or measure...




Allow biases but penalize the publication of misinformation after the fact. Publishers producing informative content might emerge as the breadwinners and the propagandists will lose revenue.


That would definately be a start. I guess the best approach would be trying that and then seeing where it went from there?
