Many old-media execs are making "frantic moves" on the Web, out of recognition that they "must do something to salvage their failing roles and their diminishing and distracted audiences."

Gn 22:17 your descendants shall take possession of the gates of their enemies

Newspaper sale$ decline should be blamed on the Journos

. . .

People who work at journalism full time ought to be able to do a better job of it than people for whom it is a hobby. But that's not going to happen as long as we "professional" journalists ignore stories we don't like and try to hide our mistakes. We think of ourselves as "gatekeepers." But there is not much future in being a gatekeeper when the walls are down.

Did you catch on CSPAN the discussion at TSU's 'Schieffer School of Journalism' the other night? Bob's convinced the problem stems from the high cost of newsprint.

Great Post, a veritable potpourri of the downfall of the OldMedia or lamestream media,or Driveby Media or the DNC/MSM. Whatever we want to call them, they are hitting the skids, and they are too leftist/loonie tunes to apply the brakes. All they would have to do to apply the brakes is to start telling the freaking truth!!!!!!!
