Media Funding and Credibility Crisis

This chapter explores the implications of recent USAID funding changes and the federal government's withdrawal of subsidies for certain media subscriptions. It critiques the high salaries of nonprofit executives and the perceived exploitation within the nonprofit sector, while addressing the decline in viewership of mainstream news and the rise of individual content creators. The discussion raises concerns about the integrity of media outlets, questioning the influence of government funding on news narratives and the role of fact-checkers in the current media landscape.
