Writer wants to 'tax the f**k out of' billionaire owner of Gothamist to publicly fund local journalists

“DNAinfo is, at the end of the day, a business, and businesses need to be economically successful if they are to endure,” Ricketts wrote.

HuffPost reporter Alexander Kaufman, himself a member of Writers Guild of America East, had his own proposal to keep DNAinfo and Gothamist, or at least a reasonable replacement, up and running.
