"News organizations have long been the watchdog of democracy. As they continue to close/downsize state, Washington and foreign bureaus; who will be the public's eyes and ears on government?
Regardless of delivery method - print, broadcast or online - fewer reporters means fewer eyes, fewer stories, fewer opinions and fewer chances to hold our local, state and national leaders accountable.
The wholesale downsizing of news organizations is not just about the tragedy of our colleagues losing their jobs. It's the tragedy of an uninformed society."
End of quote. Amazing.
It really is.
