Where have I heard this story before?
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Nearly 70 percent of Americans believe traditional journalism is out of touch, and nearly half are turning to the Internet to get their news, according to a new survey.
While most people think journalism is important to the quality of life, 64 percent are dissatisfied with the quality of journalism in their communities, a We Media/Zogby Interactive online poll showed.
The problems facing traditional media are not, at the root, financial. They are journalistic. My stump-speech newspaper rant: People paying $5 for a cup of coffee can happily afford 50 cents for a newspaper; it’s not that newspapers are expensive, it’s that they’re boring.
