      Well maybe if french newspapers were less boring and more substantial, they would be read

      however, I feel that this is a losing battle. The internet and free newspapers are winning and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Rather than trying to turn back time, media people should try to make these new avenues economically viable

        The big ( probably the only relevant) question here is whether quality journalism can survive in the new climate. Time will tell, I suppose.

                The cult of imagination, the love of dead voices, the defiance toward the new. Why ?

                I almost don't read newspapers myself, by the way. I don't feel the need to be overinformed.

                    Sorry, how much useful information comes out of newspapers? We've all sorts of highly informative news sources, or we could slog through 3 months of "access journalism" and parroted press releases for one investigative report. Compare Marcy Wheeler to any current journalist at a major newspaper and the difference in signal to noise is astounding. I don't see why any busy person attempting to stay informed would waste time with newspapers. Sure, if I were unemployed I suppose I'd read the NYTimes to kill some time, but otherwise I see no point.

                      I don't know who Marcy Wheeler is, but I will take NYT over Huffington Post or the million other garbage "news" websites any day. Like Mail-Moth, I don't want to be overinformed. Like I said - the method of distribution is irrelevant, quality of journalism is.

                          I've been sick for 3 days. My throat is becoming very sore. I feel like one funky monkey.

                                Bart Stupak's hatred for women is incredible.
