SFBay: The San Francisco Chronicle — owned by the $9 billion Hearst — last week announced a $15,000 crowdfunding initiative via Beacon to help pay for a Chronicle story about workers’ visas and immigration. “In an industry starving for fresh business models and revenue streams, it’s no surprise media Goliaths like Hearst, Tribune and HuffPo are clawing for the crowdfunding teat. Let’s be clear: A $9 billion corporation with its hand out crowdfunding $15,000 is like Donald Trump panhandling at Fifth and Mission from the window of his limo.”
