Newspaper column predicts near-end to journalism

It has been a while since I have read an article that made me genuinely angry. This one did it. Same nonsense about how newspaper problems signify the end of journalism, different country. The Australian’s Mark Day hits the panic button this time. “If newspapers can no longer afford to underwrite the best journalism, it has a flow-on effect.” He then goes on to predict difficulty for radio news, television news and internet news as a result of newspaper losses. And in the same week that the website Porkbusters helped exposed Sen. “Tubes” Stevens as the pol blocking government accountability online, Day decries “the decline of watchdog journalism.”
