A brief expression of concern for the future of journalism:
Circulation in general is down with newspapers and magazines, because people can get the information for free from the internet, just as fast.
Prose reporting has a large edge on television reporting, because television reporting is more responsive to video, and thus, spectacle, than the actual details of things like legislation.
However: New technology is moving news on the internet in a direction that's further from newspapers, and closer to TV news.
These are generalities, there's still a lot of writing on the internet. But I'm referring to a direction things are moving in that I think is kind of undesirable.
