Re: But if all newspapers die....
said by jtudor  :Where to Google, yahoo, the AP and many other online sources get their news from? Local newspapers that is who. That is the crux of the problem. Everyone wants to be s content agitator but nobody one wants to do journalism.
I don't mind paying subscription fee to newspapers I have a relationship with and trust. On the other hand I refuse to use sites that require me to login, or even enter my email in order to read article.
A healthy society needs viable journalism at international, national and local level. I'm confident someone will eventually figure out an Internet central business model that works.

I think everyones become painfully aware of the opinions that our "journalists" seem to imbed in every story. The conversation should be on how do we eradicate sensationalism and opinion from reporting.
Oh...and actually sourcing might help instead of saying "there are critics"... |
