No quite interesting actually. But would it be smart to publicly finance the media? That way it could risk to be state-controlled as regards its content... So I think the amount of money allocated from public finances should be very carefully watched and weighted. After all, it is a power independent from the state and often opposed to the state, as a critical observer. If financially supported too much by the state, it could risk losing its objectivity.

That is just my point of view? Too obvious?

Excellent Mirjam! 

And Ismail, I see too.

A theme I see developing is the relative weakness of funding for the fourth estate, especially compared with that going to the first, second and third estates - parliament, government and the judiciary.

Too boring?
