Where do we find information to arm ourselves with accurate knowledge of the issues confronting our neighborhoods, our cities, states, nations, indeed, the world? Historically, at least in free nations, we turned to news media.
Today, if media is not state controlled it too often is heavily biased or partisan or entertainment centric (sometimes all three). Such a news environment threatens the abilities of free nations to govern themselves effectively because citizen access to truth is too limited .
Imagine what freedom of the press would mean if the only constraint on what is reported is it must strictly adhere to Non Partisan Pursuit of Truth®.
If that is what you have imagined, then you have imagined what we envision and we have a simple plan for achieving this crucial goal.
Those who wish to support the creation of a Collaborative Community of problem solvers can do so by becoming Chronicles Founders. It is very simple to become a Founder. From the Pins above choose Silver for $7.00, Gold for $15.00 or Antique Gold for $25.00.
By limiting the amount to a maximum of $25.00 no one individual will ever exercise undue influence over the solutions to shared problems advanced by the Community.
ChroNews also limits the amount any corporation or organization can invest in advertising.
Additionally, we have rejected funding ChroNews through capital markets because that would only create what we already have too much of - news organizations controlled by billionaires or special interest groups.
This "control" is a natural outcome of the "other" golden rule, "He who has the gold - rules."
If you are trying to create a truly non-biased news organization, it might just be a bit counterproductive to allow so much power over decisions to be concentrated in the hands of so few. When a new venture is funded via capital markets, management can easily loose sight of long term goals by focusing too much on how their actions impact short term stock prices.
We recognize the news business is a business and must be operated with good business principles. However, all too often existing news organizations put their "business" interests ahead of the community's need to know. This arises when a story has the potential to negatively impact a coveted advertiser, an individual, political party or other special interests who have curried favor with the "news" organization.
The good news: ChroNews is not about the personal aggrandizement or protection of one individual or any group of individuals. It is About You and your role in a collaborative community effort at solving shared problems. With the participation of tens of thousands of Chroniclers worldwide, the community becomes a powerful force for good and remains an organization with that rarest of commodities - the trust of the people.
Finally, ChroNews operates under a unique set of Bylaws to insure that no one, not even Chronicler0 could ever derail the Community's dedication to Non Partisan Pursuit of Truth®, because only truth can lead to solving shared problems in a manner beneficial to most of us.
Show the world you had the wisdom to help build ChroNews by proudly wearing your Chronicles Founder pin.
