What's the big idea?

Welcome to the Public Press, an emerging concept for a noncommercial daily Web/print/broadcast collaborative news service. The idea is to put journalism first -- operating as a nonprofit organization that prioritizes public service over commerce. One idea is to eliminate advertising altogether, creating a robustly independent specialized vehicle for serious news. A newspaper born in the 21st century could experiment with new forms of "reverse" publishing -- pulling commentary, blogs and alternative news perspectives into print dynamically. See our frequently asked questions for more details. We have just started to seek grant funding and collaborators, locally and nationwide. We're especially looking for people with business planning acumen. If you do, please contact us. The Public Press project is an initiative of Independent Arts & Media of San Francisco. Please contribute your ideas about how to get such a project off the ground! -- The Public Press project team
