That will never happen. What we can do is band together and create a resource for the distribution of open source news stories contributed by citizens and for the citizens. A few news and public opinion sources already encourage redistribution of their articles. On a larger scale, such a practice could make a local electronic alternative news media possible. The days of the afternoon newspaper are gone.
Most cities have only one newspaper.
Community newspapers cannot compete with the local newspaper monopolies. Citizen reporters could contribute stories to a central database from which local newswebs could be put together. Stories that go unnoticed by the commercial papers because of their advertising interests would finally get the play they deserve. Like every good idea, the ICN is not unique. Many web sites exist that provide collections of news summaries and links.
