More on Newspapers.

Shortly after calling attention to Clark Hoyt's remarks,"journalists see their job as reflecting the world as their reporting tells them it is" (NY Times 3-15-09), the Seattle Post-Intelligencer folded their print editions. It will be seen only on the Internet.

Then a few days later Nicholas D.Kristof wrote in his column (3-19-09)what can happen when we turn only to the Internet for news. He said "the danger is that self-selected 'news' acts as a narcotic lulling us into a self-confident stupor through which we will perceive in blacks and whites a world that typically unfolds in grays."

For me, the demise of so many newspapers bodes ill for all of us.
