   The idea is nice but I can't see how a government agency can set the salaries of private businesses. Except for CEO's whose salaries seem to have no relationship to the what the person does, salaries are determined by supply and demand. When newspapers were the primary way people got news, star reporters who could "scoop" the competition would result in more papers sold. Today's news media seem not to value scoops. Instead of being first with news they seem more interested in issuing teasers to get the audience to watch a later news program. The ratings on which their ad revenue is based is determined by audience share of scheduled programs, not on being first with the news. Unfortunately, newscasts that are entertaining seem to get bigger audiences than ones that just give the straight news. So reporters have become not as important.
