If the aftermath of the Scottish independence referendum has taught us nothing else, its that something is very wrong with Scotlands media. In order to take this problem on in any serious way, we need to be ambitious... What we want to create, is a daily, fully staffed national news programme for Scotland, backed up by a professional team of full time journalists, correspondents, production and technical staff - no half measures, a genuine challenger to your News at Ten, ITN etc. Not Scottish news, just The News, as seen through a Scottish lens. Its the next step, it needs to happen, and it needs to happen fast. Scotland is a country, and it deserves to have its own news programme. The problem is, this is going to involve a lot of time and money, just to raise the investment alone. Trust us, whatever figure youre thinking of, its much bigger. The bottom line though, is this: we need about three months in which to raise the cash, and put everything in place in order to have this up and running by early next year. We reckon thatll cost us £10,000, which will pay for three people working full time for 3 months with the single goal of making this happen. The only feasible way of raising that money quickly enough is through a crowdfunder. We appreciate your spirits might not be as high as they were, and that money might be tight, but theres a very real shot that we can make this happen. The time for thinking small has passed, Scotland needs to think big. #The45 #Yes #ScotPol
