This article says government subsidy for local news is always a bad idea. Do you agree? (whatworks.news)

I wonder if corporate funding is the only way to get professional news or not.

I'd rather government subsidized over corporate owned. While both aren't ideal, corporate owned will never act in the best interest of the people,.only the shareholders. Government isn't great but at least there is some semblance of accountability with elections
