It's inherently dependent on the government. The viewers don't get together and voluntarily decide to fund it.
Unfortunately I don't think there's a single such organisation in the world-- controlled-by-members newspaper. Even almost-controlled-by-members newspapers here in Sweden aren't fully subject to member control, with this typically being indirect through some board or similar organisation.
That's not factually accurate. The BBC is principally funded through the licence fee (i.e. directly by the viewers).
