Josh Silver: Journalism and Internet Policies Must Be Linked
Free Press, May 14, 2009

What we are proposing is a new direction. A fair regulatory approach that protects consumers, promotes competition and allows the companies with the best ideas and products to make money. A combination of public policy and market forces will achieve these outcomes. It is not an either-or proposition. Companies can make profits and the public interest can be served simultaneously.
