Feedback to: Reuters Gives CitJ Venture $100K

And for $100K from Reuters, what does it expect from NewAssignment.net? What are the terms? Does Reuters get a voice in NewAssignment.net’s decision-making? If NewAssignment.net has a board of directors or its equivalent, is there a Reuter’s man in it? Has Reuters suddenly realized it has to be student again to new things it is paying $100K for tuition fee?

With NewAssignment.net, how does it expect to survive out of charity (Is it forever?) without it being subject to the wiles of donors? Forgive me, but I happen to believe there’s no such thing as free lunch.
