I was reading the op-ed section of the Wall Street Journal and I found this article about the decline of newspapers and the impact caused by the increase of the internet and the use of the online world. It's really interesting to read if anyone wants to check it out. I think this is a really important and extremely timely topic for us, especially as undergrads in the Journalism school, to think about and talk about. It's called "Quality Reporting Doesn't Come Cheap"

William Safire died today (Sunday) at 79. He was a speech writer for Nixon and a Pulitzer-winning NYT columnist. I think his death, as well as others of his generation, shows the shift in journalism that has taken place recently. His ideas of what "journalism" meant will be expanded on, changed and critiqued as we grow into a complicated media atmosphere.
yesterday i was watching hln news and their was a debate about the bombing suspects, and while one side stuck with the fact that they were in fact planning an attack, the other side said just because they had drawings of bombs didn't mean they were planning an attack.... any thoughts?
Many articles concerning John Edwards have taken various standpoints to his "paternity" some claim he wants to announce, others say he is being forced to. His mistress parades her daughter around pushing the affair into everyone's faces. I wonder what Edward's wife thinks of all this, the fact that he cheated, also the fact that he supposedly told his mistress he would marry her when his wife died (who is sick with cancer). has anyone tried talking to her?
Elizabeth Edwards recently had a book published detailing her husband's affair and her experiences.
