The economics of journalism, especially print, have gone to hell but newsies will take us all with them as they go. Jill Lepore of The New Yorker describes the journey. Her piece could have been titled "This One Weird Trick Will Save Your Newspaper" but she went with the comparably click-baity "Does Journalism Have A Future?".
Since you ask, yes, I am still fuming that the NY Times business model now embraces rushing to the front of the left-wing Twitter mobs and joining in. I'd like to pretend that in happier days they would try to provide perspective and facts but of course, twelve years ago they were dead-enders clinging to their favored Duke lacrosse narrative long after reality had come home to most others. Agenda-driven crusading has been a Times staple for years (who else remembers their crusade to include women at Augusta National from, hmm, I don't remember. "Flood the zone" was the key phrase and it came from Howell Raines in 2002.)
Mario is probably rolling in his grave.
