There is money in NEWS!
According to this Washington Post article

According to people intimately familiar with CNN’s finances, the network and its related media businesses will approach $1 billion in gross profit in 2016, a milestone unseen in its 36-year history.

I personally hate ads. You go to any major news outlet and you are hit with ad after ad, popups, popunders, autoplay video, ... ARGH! I hate it, and would gladly pay a little to eliminate those ads.

The program we are looking at already has a built-in translation feature. I've not tested it, but I believe if someone translates a page, a link will show up to that translated page. I'm sure it could be set up to reward anyone who translates anything on the site...

Thanks for your input.
