Burying the lead: Is big media a goner? CF

Good Riddance To Mainstream Media? : NPR

FROM THE ARTICLE: Some argue that the diversity of voices available on the Internet to provide information and analysis makes for a better system. Others say a decline in traditional journalism means lower standards and fewer resources to investigate crucial stories.

COMMENT: Who’s to say they’re not both right? But I’m not sure how a former WashPo journalist at a successful website, a guy with a radio show and a Vanity Fair columnist get labeled as not in the mainstream media. It’s not like they’re Christian Slater hosting a pirate radio show out of their bedroom.
