I am seeking the names of specific individuals who would seriously be willing to fund the construction of an ultramodern media publication of the future.

The main thing that has held me back from better developing particular ideas that relate to this for so long is having no capital to do so. Almost everything I have produced, much of which has never been published, has been produced on zero funding. I consider almost everything I’ve produced up to this point to be mere practice and child’s play compared to what I could (and should) actually build with adequate funding.

Many films are produced annually on budgets of $70 million or more. For less than one sixth of that kind of funding I could build my vision for the supreme media publication of tomorrow, the likes of which has yet to be fully realized, ever.

I want to rebuild the journalism industry as well as make it a valuable profession again for the right people with the right drive who have the right training and the right vision. That is my goal here, to save journalism and to better society with better journalism. My goal here is not to attain wealth or power over other individuals, but having adequate funding and executive control over the creation of this project will be absolutely necessary for the successful completion and full realization of this project, at least in the short term.

Trying to retrofit or restructure any existing businesses or institutions simply will not do if I am to build what it is that I envision in particular, to the scope that I envision it. I have to build this one from the ground up and I need to be the one with executive control over its creation if it is to truly succeed, as quickly as possible. Of course, I have no problem collaborating with others on its creation for I would certainly plan on hiring many talented people that I have in mind, but this project is simply not going to be fully realized if I do not have executive control over its creation (at least within the short term).

I am looking for specific names of specific people who would genuinely be interested in funding this initiative. They could be venture capitalists, philanthropists, celebrities, whatever – so long as they are individuals. Groups, such as the “Knight News Challenge,” I am absolutely not interested in hearing of, at all. Most of the ideas they fund are an absolute joke in my opinion.

Large groups and committees are often way too conservative and myopic to understand the value of ideas that are “ahead” of their time (or even ideas that are in their time right now, that society is already currently ready for). And when I mean “conservative” I do not mean “economically or fiscally conservative,” I mean “completely and utterly debilitated by group think” to the point to where they have little or no foresight in their thinking, whatsoever.

Many individuals, however, are often not nearly as myopic in understanding the value of ideas that are categorically ahead of their time (especially the right individuals). Landmark creative individuals such as “Steve Jobs” are not going to suffer from the same flawed, myopic reasoning as compared to groups like “The Wall Street Journal” or “The Knight Foundation.” Steve Jobs would not have been able to accomplish what he has accomplished if he was forced to work under the likes of Dick Cheney or was funded by the likes of Rand Corporation.

If you happen to be one of these such individuals or happen to know any of these individuals specifically, then please let me know.

Many people with the capital and will to rebuild journalism don’t necessarily have the right ideas to do so, and most people with the right ideas and initiative to rebuild journalism simply just don’t have the capital to do so. That’s why we need to work together.
