YouTube Idea 1: News Channel

Most traditional media in the United States has been taken over by huge corporations and are no longer independent.  “Hard hitting” investigative journalism is a thing of the past. Current news outlets often ignore or downplay stories as directed by the corporate office. Sadly, traditional media has become a tool for big business interests.

With YouTube, you can have your own News Channel that focuses on the stories YOU feel are important. You can bring back investigative journalism and provide your own approach.

An example of this is The Young Turks. The Young Turks was started by former MSNBC anchor Cenk Unger who was fired for not toeing the corporate line. Now, his news channel is #1 on YouTube, has 3x the views of CNN on YouTube and is #1 for news among millennials. They earn money by advertising and memberships.
