This included the relationship between journalism and democracy. “Democracy cannot function if journalism is not strong. Information that is created with the intent that people will use it to participate in society. ” She went on to say that the need for information is greater than ever. More people are looking to “consume” journalism and the amount of journalism able to consumed is rapidly increasing as well.

Today, at least in the USSA, the press is little more than a stenographer for the state (Lew Rockwell's expression for lapdog media). Watch any white house press briefing the last few decades and it is easy to see if a member of the press wants in the room, they will toe the line for the administration, all grandstanding to the contrary notwithstanding. We saw it on fox news when Shawn Hannity and co. routinely disrespected Ron Paul, and when beltway-koch-libertarian(sic) magazine (t)Reason did a Ron Paul hit piece. The other Ailes-boy Rush Limbaugh would not permit any discussion of Paul who had the most money of all republicans going into Iowa. We were unimpressed. We do not expect Ailes to tolerate Napolitano much longer- he's too much like us. Great show though as long as he is still on- internet only. They (lapdog media) should be reporting the truth,but they are not uncovering it. When they do find it out, they are paid to steer clear of reporting it. They do not serve their subscriber's interests. Subscription journalism is going away- now we will have Nascar/Indycar media- Wherever advertising dollars go, is where journalism will go. Advertising dollars are corporate. Corporations receive kickbacks from government through lobbyists. Boeing gets no unfavorable advertising, and yet you should learn what they are doing to our very own borders. Game over. Soon even blog media will be Hannitized, opposing points of view will not be discussed in earnest- only at most paid lipservice. Cache will be deleted. It will be just like 1984. Newspeak is already here. Have a double-plus-good day and enjoy your chocolate ration. Mark Cynical- Hell Yes. I do not get cable- I watch Hulu and for my entertainment.
