Rachel Maddow has an amazing segment on the collapse of the newspaper industry. It addresses the threat of new media and the failure of the old media's online business model. The future of investigative journalism is at stake! Check it out!
Investigative journalism is at the heart of democracy. I remember the Watergate case unfolding when I was a teenager. Very dramatic! This incredible corruption would not have come to light without very brave, committed journalists. (I'm amused that Watergate seems so light weight compared to some more recent events!) I like the internet, but being a baby boomer, I'm hooked on my newspaper. The SF Chronicle may go under, which seems impossible and crazy after all of these years. -Sarah
This is a blog started by Isaac Hale for the 2008 election. It morphed in 2008 into a blog on LGBT rights under the Obama administration. Power to the Pundits in 2010 was scrutinizing and aggregating mass media commentary on the torture "debate" and its ongoing legacy. Power to the Pundits is now set to be a long-term politics and opinion blog. Thanks for dropping by!
