I always find this idea interesting, that newspapers economic woes have something to do with journalists getting worse at reporting the news.
When were "they" markedly better?
Aren't the executives more to blame here?
- gruseom 17y agoI'm not sure they were better. They might have deserved it for a long time. :) The MSM does seem to be getting worse to me, but this might be an optical illusion - an effect of the contrast with how much better its emerging replacement is.
- brandnewlow 17y agoSee, that's a valid view. People are welcome to think they're all getting what they deserve. I just don't think it makes sense to connect the quality or perceived lack of quality of today's mainstream journalism to the financial straights of the big media companies.
