I am a journalist in Cameroon , Africa. Here many publishers exploit reporters. Here too, funding for newspapers is very difficult to get at beginning of the project. Hence further ideas on financial sponsor of papers will help greatly. Thanks. good contributions! I am a journalist in Cameroon , Africa. Here many publishers exploit reporters.

Four people working. Never less than 28 pages. Thriving like crazy today. Why? Newspapers that offer positive news, and focus on local people are thriving. Why? Creativity of owners, defining specials and editions that cause the advertiser to want to advertise. Taking spec ads to prospective advertisers that encourage advertiser involvement. Final word is that whatever is published about local people --- that they can't read anywhere else --- is important to residents, sells big, and is popular.

It went down like a lead balloon - why should you pay for a tool you need for your job? kpaul, look at the UK's Sly Bailey if you want to see big wigs in action Some UK newspapers have actually tried making staff buy the copies of the newspaper (at a reduction of course) to try to keep sales figures up rather than make money.

That's sure to help journalism by allowing staff cuts to stop and for hiring frenzies to happen, spurring innovation ... oh wait, what am I thinking. Yeah, it's better for already low paid employees to prop up the system. Someone needs to do an updated article on how much the big media big wigs make per year with bonuses and benefits and all the shiny rings they get. -kpaul Or, heck, take the salary and bennies of someone like McCorkindale or any of the other big cats… That’s sure to help journalism by allowing staff cuts to stop and for hiring frenzies to happen, spurring innovation … oh wait, what am I thinking.
