Part 1: Should Big Tech Bail Out The News?

The pan­dem­ic could be an extinc­tion event” for Amer­i­can news­pa­pers and so their pub­lish­ers want their own gov­ern­ment bailout. Mean­while Cana­di­an papers want mon­ey from Google and Face­book, too.

Jeff Jarvis lays out the prob­lems with all that, and Cory Doc­torow and Emi­ly Bell sug­gest a bet­ter way: break­ing up the tech giants.
