I think you are coming from good intentions but i am not grasping exactly what you are getting at. I don't think people want to come to TD to read articles by writers.
This. I can read pre-canned bullshite articles on the Onion if I want. Forums are popular because they’re a direct line to the pulse of society and welcome input and discussion from all. I don’t need some crappy Advocate journalist who needs to hit their quota feeding me uninformed articles all day long, I get exactly what I need and want here, for free. If I or anyone else wanted what Advocate writers had to offer, I’d read their paper.
OP is under the impression that TD feeds off of “articles written by journalists” and that isn’t the case. TD feeds off of real life events, and probably Twitter if we *have* to choose a media outlet. Journalism is dying and I’d rather if it didn’t pull TD into the grave with it

Yeah I'm very curious as to what route Chicken is attempting to take if he wants to get into "official" news. It will be hard to be 100% true news while still getting good advertisers.
I'm just going to use book stores as an example. We do have free press in the United States so you can make and print any books you want. So you are running what you think is the greatest and most free speech book store ever. You will have every kind of book from every author. But now you start carrying this certain book and the main publishers, who aren't really that many, don't like it. They blacklist you. Now your book store is missing 70% of all books. Sure you are carrying the fringe books now, but the main books that most people like you don't have. You're business is now overextended and your monthly operating costs are too much so you are going out of business.
I say be very careful Chicken and talk to many people to make sure you have all angles worked out. Principles can come with a heavy cost in this country so make sure you don't overextend and get the carpet ripped out from under you.
