Consensus press is a news organization that is owned and operated by a group of journalists. It is based on the idea that news should be produced by a collective effort, rather than by a single editor or publisher. Consensus press organizations are often non-profit, and they rely on donations from readers and supporters to fund their work.
Consensus press organizations typically have a board of directors that is elected by the journalists who work for the organization. The board of directors sets the policies and priorities of the organization, and it hires and fires the editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the organization and for ensuring that the news coverage is accurate and fair.
Consensus press organizations often have a strong commitment to independent journalism. They believe that news should not be influenced by the government, corporations, or other special interests. They also believe that news should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay.
Some of the most well-known consensus press organizations include:
* The Associated Press (AP)
* Reuters
* Agence France-Presse (AFP)
* The Canadian Press (CP)
* The Guardian
These organizations provide news coverage to a wide range of outlets, including newspapers, magazines, television stations, and websites.
