IndieGoGo Project Seeks To 'Free The Press, Buy The Tribune Company'

The Tribune Company is looking at potentially selling its newspapers, and one Indiegogo project from The Other 98% wants to “put the ‘free’ back in ‘free press'” by crowdfunding the money to purchase the media conglomerate. The price tag? Oh, you know, only $660 million. Today they are just over $60,000, with 30 days remaining in the campaign.

“The Tribune Company is staffed by amazing journalists who have dedicated their lives to the responsibilities of the first amendment,” says a project organizer, Nicole, in the promotional video.
