- ARE SUBSIDIES AN ANSWER? -- Robert McChesney is a media scholar who's work goes beyond the academy. A co-founder of the non-profit FreePress.net (Free Press staffer Josh Stearns is with us at RJI Five) he argues the Founding Fathers intended postal subsidies for circulating newspapers as a recognition of the "public good" function of journalism.
