Thanks for the link to that awesome, too-good-in-its-entirety-to-except speech. It should be required reading for anyone who reads a newspaper or a news magazine, or who watches TeeVee news, or reads blogs and other websites, or kids in Civics class, or journalism students. Actually, it should just be required reading.

Wonderful! I relish the print media. From the time I learned to read, I cannot remember a morning without a newspaper or a mailbox without weekly magazines. We currently subscribe to 3 magazines that are rarely read but we want to support their publication and like to pick them up in passing for a quick scan. We subscribe to 4 or 5 other magazines that are grabbed up as soon as they arrive and enjoyed cover to cover.

More power to the diversity in the media, but please don't take my print media. And, mainly, don't stop digging up the news. I'm not sure we can depend on citizen journalism to walk the beat.
