I'll bet someone has already thought of this, but here goes:
Why not launch our own "real" newspaper? Charge for it, pay the contributors, the whole gamut. Maybe call it "The Daily Kosmopolitan"?
There's plenty of talent here on Kos, and once a REAL media outlet was established, it would blow the doors off of the SCLM. Maybe we could get a day pass to question Bush!
I have an AA in Journalism, have edited a college paper, and work as a technical writer. I would be glad to contribute to this effort. Hopefully someone with a real background in journalism would take up the challenge, and make it a professional endeavor.
