    But as I keep saying, I agree with Better Public Media that a tax on digital advertising - applied across the board rather than targeting specific actors - is the best model (involving the state) I've come across so far.

    As well as creating a funding pool for public interest media, it would discourage ad-based digital business models. Think of it as a pollution tax for the mediasphere.

    MediaWatch this week interviewed Dr Peter Thompson of Better Public Media about Labour's Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill:

    BPM think that the bill misses the target, and is likely to benefit larger news media companies - if any - more than small ones. Instead, they proposes using an industry-wide levy - say on all digital ad revenues - to fund something like the Public Journalism Fund.
