lol Well actually there are several.. personally I was involved with the LA Free Press back in the 60's plus a couple of other ones.. the business model if my memory serves me right is basically the same as a standard newspaper
we sold it through street vendors there were a bunch of people selling as street vendors.. also there were a group that were are writers (Reporters) one person was the editor (memory the original edition cost some thing like $640.oo ) Sold out and the cost of printing was never an a problem after that) I was young and dumb so I did not pay as much attention as I should have.. (remember there was no internet at the time) My idea comes that a "Occupy Free Press" could be set up.. with articles stating the ideals and objectives of the Occupy Movement ans well as news articles.. Now every one involved and be and Editor, reporter, or news vendor,, (sell the edition from with in a march) the idea being in the USA and other countries where the freedom of the press is sacred it become difficult to attack it with armed police.. You can have a objective to accomplish each day where they can go sleep else where and return to sell their news papers the vendors can purchase their papers whole sale and resale them at a higher rate.. Actually it has the potential for the newspaper to fund the occupy movement and encourage donation ,, sell advertisement?? I can see 10,000 vendors walking down the street hocking papers even if they are dispersed to say 4 + per corner occupy every corner on the wall street area.. how would the police disperse them and any action they take gets reported on.. News paper (advertisement printers are available and will be glad for the work) I have no idea how to create a business model.. there are people who are genius for that,, I am sure there are those in this group who have the ability or know some one who does.. the ideas to create the newspaper.. to sustain the ideas Allan On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 5:15 PM, archytas <[email protected]> wrote: > I like the idea too - lacks a business model mate. > > On Nov 15, 12:55 am, Edward Mason <[email protected]> wrote: > > "Free Press" concept.. > > > > The idea of a platform, I like it, Allan.
