We’ve been watching true journalism at it’s finest the last month or so. Print has nothing to do with it. Other than the some coordinating from Fox News television has nothing to do with it. Today there are a very few investigative reporters (discounting the propaganda hacks of old media). The leads they generate are released though Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and hundreds of sites like FreeRepublic. We are the editors and the ones who determine what direction an investigation will take. The new journalism is responsible for the greatest scoop in history, the Clinton/Obama/Intell plot. Old journalism is dead and it’s dying gasps were feeble attempts to protect its old masters.

Do you think that is as effective at the state and local government levels?
I like getting my weekend newspapers. After going through them I pick up my iPad.
Paper is the ultimate flat screen. Also, reading the words, looking at the pictures, and flipping the pages connects me with history, as it’s been done for centuries.
