OT: How about those Union Tribune Layoffs?

[Zeitgeist]

Great insights as always from eaves, Allan, flu, Arraya, et al. I have also noticed the news is undergoing a complete dumbing down. There are precious few left with any journalism background and are now strictly somewhat pretty faces. Some of the folks on the local news do not know how to dress either (they don’t or I don’t). Their clothing looks more like what you would see at a bar, than on prime time. I have definitely seen them getting rid of the higher paid old timers like LeBeau and Levine recently. Local television news is hardly recognizable any more. I know it is money driven because some of the newly graduated will work for almost nothing for the chance to be on television. I used to be an avid reader of Time through the 80’s, but it grew thinner and weaker and I stopped subscribing. I thought it was starting to read more like People and less like the Time of old when the Man (or machine) of the year actually meant something. Thank God for the Internet. God help us if the government takes over and starts taxing it. Could there be a pirate Internet?

Actually, of the ‘new’ media I like Rich’s “Voice of San Diego”. Their fact check part is kinda (ha!) dry, but I think it keeps politicans honest. I remember they even had some Union member who mispoke and self reported herself as mis-speaking before they did rather than be caught being wrong. They usually call that ‘getting out ahead of it’, but atleast she admitted she was wrong publically. ANd she was forced to in a way that people actually heard about, she couldnt hide her recant.

I like that. We all heard the wrong information, and then wonder why it keeps circling when it is wrong.

Plus their pieces about lcoal San Diego are far better than the UT stuff. Add that to Kellys writing, and ofcourse Rich’s, and well, Forget the UT.

what exactly is the cataclysmic change that is taking place?

Is traditional print media dying? Sure, easy to notice. UT has been natural resource waste for a decade plus. This failure can be attributed to many factors.

Using Watergate as the benchmark of journalism states only that this specific reporting was confirmed after the event to be revealed as truth. Such a given journalistic stamp of approval is not difficult to find the past 100yrs.

The difference between now vs.’then'(any day past 100yrs), a reader is equipped with more tools to qualify words written/spoken at increased rate of time.

A ‘reporter’ defines nothing, for me. Never has. A person who provides information on a given subject or story–whatever the topic–and proves to be truth for me, the reporting individual has a ‘leg up’, but is not beyond my own ‘fact checking’-should I feel the need.
