There are many stations, including KQED, that have made that commitment. One new model is to partner or collaborate with other news organizations. At the same time there needs to be an investment in newsrooms.

They aren’t subject to advertising revenue restrictions with their on-line news delivery, so they LOVE the money… but the primary group of guests that this state network uses is commercial media people hawking commercial media viewpoints… so they’d lose important guests if Newspapers keep failing.

This state network over the years has made itself into almost everything I came to them to get away from.

One can argue at length for the reasons why, or whether it’s a good or bad thing…but the core reality is that most radio newsrooms have but a fraction of the reporters that most daily newspapers have…even after massive cutbacks at many papers. That puts a serious limitation on public media’s ability to be a true substitute for a newspaper.
