I think it's awesome that billionaires are filling in the important gap in investigative journalism.

Interestingly, Jeff Skoll is also doing great work in the "content to make society" better category.

Frontline (see NFL concussion doc) and Propublica (http://www.propublica.org/series/overdose ) are doing AWESOME work in this space as well.

If Pierre invests $25m a year they can run a 100 person newsroom ($150k all in for the top journalists + tech team + sales) for 10 years for the price Bezos paid for WashPost.
