Re: Tuesday, January 8, 2002
Doc, Saw an interesting round-table, month or two back, on the conflicts of having the profit-motive in Journalism. I think a lot of this reflects that basic problem. As the news media has been bought up by bigger and bigger conglomerates, a lot of that independence has been lost. Not to say that the profit-motive should have NOTHING to do with news coverage, as that's one mechanism of steering the kind of news coverage we get. But when it gets closer and closer to being the PRIMARY concern.. well, the results speak for themselves, IMV. jt SiliCow Valley
