Couldn't read the full article, but advertising was supposed to pay for journalism already (ie. the basic business model) — doing it through the government seems like an unnecessary and cost-ineffective step? Also personally (as a journalist), I don't really believe in journalism school. It's definitely a skill best learned on the job. (Writing is another matter, I believe writers do benefit from a school or school-like programme to workshop etc. but I digress, as writing is just one part of journalism.)
