My parents escaped from the Squators, Communism and Fazilism. They knew that democracy was involved in the media-based media.
IFive years I’ve handed the newspapers as a child, I have worked in a news business for 55 years. I am proud of my colleagues, and I was all perfect, but we have tried hard to provide accurate and use of people’s life and democracy.
I would like to retire as the chief editor Hawaii Business Magazine I worry about the future of good free democracy and the future of our democracy and the future of a good free journalism.
I first learned that connection from my parents; It was not what they said, but what did they do. They lived hard work-class, but they have time to read the newspapers, because they adopted their dedicated citizens in the country.
Tyrators, communism, fascism, and democracy in Europe were aware of how important to their gifts and the future. They understood the utensils for the equation. Watergate has strengthened the lesson.
Money problems
Local news media is facing many major challenges but the money is basic. Each organization depends on the money coming: Although the money to the news media – the money or nonprofit, although money, circulation, grants, sponsors, sponsors, sponsors or sugar dads.
Local media is owned by local employees in the richest people in the town. .
Many of them have earned money from the news media because news business was profitable. It is common today to make money in another field before local media owners are based on the continent based on the continent or to produce the local media.
At the beginning of this century, the two newspapers of Honolulu had 200 grandparents. Today, diluted paper, star-advertiser on the 40th of the star-advertising partner, is owned by the media and its financial partners.
Hawaii business Its sister magazines – Honolulu, Hawaii, Hawaii Home + Putting out – some of the exceptions to the excellent national media that have been distributed and widely distributed. As our slogan has been declared proud, we are locally owned. Since we do not lead a profit, thank you thank you for the Duan Cross. But we don’t flush with money.
Our print magazine and Hawabusiness Dolled can be seen in the Hawakoxiness or HawAbisin, there it is free. It means more people read our stories – I like it. But web ads give a penny a part of each view – can’t like it.
Vow of most poverty
The stairs have never been a path, never was a path, and it was not a path to most employment, and it made a family life. The jobs that are more than and the salary of many is not to lead to family family life. That is why it became so many journalists who shifted to the corporate and government communications, PR. It took a lot in the past, but the floods of my career were always better.
Yes, the Internet provides more choices to where you can get your news, but it also provides a million wrong information source. It interrupted the business model of local news. Good reporting requires time and money and money, usually involves visible and context. Free can create simple lies in a few seconds – and a lot of people love simple answers.
When the future of American journalism and democracy, I feel guilty when it comes to such danger. But the age was forced my hand and I want to enjoy my life in Hawaii.
But I will continue to engagement. If you care about our democracy, deposit your time and national and money in the best independent journalism. The recent history here proves that one does not exist in abroad.
