Their report also suggested that the government enact policies to protect certain types of public interest journalism from market failure.

According to the GAO, public interest journalism serves a public good for society and generates positive externalities. Consumer desire for the government’s standard of public interest journalism may be nonexistent because consumers are unaware of the extent of its benefits.
The agency also warned that decentralizing news production and distribution online, mainly through social media, threatens public interest journalism…..
