Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 642263, member: 837"] I love the outcries of "what happened to our beloved art of journalism" when I'd be 75% of people here haven't paid for a print newspaper in 2 years. People don't want journalism. If they did, papers wouldn't be dying. And anyone who reads a newspaper (and I still read the Washington Post daily and both the Post and NYTimes on Sundays-- the *gasp!!* print editions) would know there is still great writing and reporting out there. But the decline of newspapers is also not some sign of moral decay, the likes of which every single generation complains about as it gets into middle/old age. It's the simple ebb and flow of life. People are wealthier and have more access to technology and platforms. That means traditional papers are now competing not only with dozens (hundreds?) of platforms, but also with the very communities they service. We b!tch about the PS reporting but, as others have pointed out, you get a pretty good amount of inside info right on this site and it's generally in a form newspapers traditionally couldn't print due to lack of multiple sources, etc. At the end of the day, it's disappointing that the PS can't produce a higher-quality product and I have no idea why Donnie Webb and Rahme were let go, but good God, people here also act like they're dating nassib or marrone or shafer. I mean, Carlson's article is sort of a throwaway piece and terribly compelling, but his off-handed comment probably referred to Nassib being rumored to go as high as 8 and ending up in the third round. Is his comment accurate? I guess it could be argued either way, but it is exceedingly innocuous in the grand scheme of things. The scorned ex-boyfriend response on this board to stuff like this is off-putting and bizarre. [/QUOTE]
