While it’s true newspapers are dying, there’s a bit too much delight in killing dreams here. We do need people who are excited about journalism. Wikileaks shows that mainstream journalism isn’t doing its job. (Julian Assange would be a media hero if he had called it WikiRemedy instead of Wikileaks.)
It’s also true that the city newsroom I worked in had massive cuts and, had I stayed there, I’m sure I would have been out now. Since I’m already an independent writer, I’m no farther behind anyway.
