- Sales slide quickens at newspapers. Alan Mutter parses the latest numbers from big media and says the bad news is “accelerating at a dangerously increasing rate.” Not a pretty picture.
- ’Cup Is Overflowing’ for Future of Journalism. Mark Glaser takes a reading of the debate whether journalism’s glass is half-full or half-empty. A good roundup of some of the thinking about that question. Howard Owens settles on a one-third full glass.
