Requiem for U.S. Newspaper Journalism Author: Llewellyn King
There are those who would take pleasure in the agony, and what might be the death throes, of the mainstream media, but they would be ill advised to do so.

The press may be disreputable and eccentric, but it is the indispensable partner of the ballot box.
