Can you support your family without ANY income? Can you pay employees without ANY income? How about funding for equipment? Office space? Informants? Websites? Free lancers?

Well, can YOU support MY family is the comparison to make. I'm not asking anyone to support my family or my employees. And by the way, if it's a real company, you start with volunteers then you can eventually pay them... Especially if it's a news based company. There are plenty of journalists that are willing and able. How about asking for volunteers?

I'm not even the guy you responded to and I'm not against raising money, but caution is always recommended.
