I personally thought that the BBC News jumped the shark when they introduced a "BBC Capital" section. It really rammed home Chomsky's point about major newspapers having a "business" section but no "labor" section.
It's been a downhill slide ever since Hutton, to be honest, and a crying shame.
At least we still have Al Jazeera, though.
- endianswap 12y agoOh the irony in linking to a third-party contribution to Forbes as your source of this news. Is this what each newspaper's online presence is going to devolve into across the industry?
- crdoconnor 12y agoLOL, true. In my defense it was the first hit in Google. Judging by the time it took to dig this up, BBC could do with some SEO work: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-28342929 http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-28342929
