the new new journalism

Everyone is freaking out about the state of journalism and wondering if blogs can really pick up the slack.

I heard about the CBC cuts two days before they were announced in the news due to an inconspicuous location while waiting for an interview. I was told that it was strictly off the record, but didn't realize at the time how breaking it could be.

What will happen to the institution now is anyones guess, but the experiment of letting advertisers run the media needs to end.

This article has some ideas and I recommend it. Normally, I would do a little review, but I have two take-homes and a two papers in front of me.

So enjoy.
