We all pay, or should pay, around €150 a year in a tax to RTE to fund public service broadcasting.
Given that so much media is now consumed through the internet should some of that funding be used to support public service information provided by other sources. It struck me that this site provides a public service for free and with no advertising. Is it not just as deserving of state funding under a public service remit as RTE?
