    If 'Real Journalism' Fails As A Business, Should Government Step In? [view article]
    The BBC is publicly funded and is one of the world's best news gathering organizations. However, it is much too soon to declare journalism dead obviously. Print perhaps, but then the model will change to television + internet + free lightweight paper, and perhaps that's more efficient. Reply

    equals a managerial state. It is at our doorstep. Do we accept it with open arms? Of course! Our society thrives on propaganda and disinformation! Reply

    If 'Real Journalism' Fails As A Business, Should Government Step In? [view article]
    It is an interesting question. The banks derivative based business model and Boolean risk switches have failed, and they are being supported, directly, and indirectly with inflation. The defense industry is also supported in the same way, perhaps as an uneconomic capability which wouldn't function without its government customer, and is unable to diversify into other markets. Air traffic control, does that count? There's probably other nationalized industries in the government's pockets, secondary mortgage market organizers, so why not takr over failing journalism models. They are close to the New York Times, swapping out secrets the Times agrees not to publish, it seems, for continued daily access on stuff it can publish.

    But why should the government be limited to failed or failing business models like these?

    If government was going to get into the media business wouldn't it make sense to do it properly? One company, full multi-media access across the entire spectrum, from cell-phones and blackberries to TV and movies houses distributed through all means. Establishment of an officially sanctioned training program for journalists so that they know stuff. Cooperation between journalists and the diplomatic and military services around the world.

    Oh, perhaps Madison Avenue should be included in the mix too. That way there wouldn't be any disorienting shocks caused by changes in coverage reflecting changes in ownership.

    The idea of a government bailout of newspapers is the most outrageous thing I've heard in awhile - and there's been a lot of outrageous stuff recently! Let technology and human endeavor run its course. Reply

    Earnings: Lee Income Falls 17 Percent; Online Ads Up 24 Percent
    Tuesday January 22, 8:30 am ET
    By Joseph Weisenthal

    Lee Enterprises (NYSE: LEE - News), the publisher of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and numerous smaller papers, saw revenue decline 6.2 percent in the latest quarter to $279.9 million, from $298.5 million in the year-ago period. Advertising revenue fell by 6.5 percent to $217 million, with classifieds slipping by 13.5 percent. Net income fell by 17.2 percent, to $22.1 million ($.48/share), from $26.6 million in the year-ago period ($.58/share). The company said the quarterly decline was exacerbated by an extra publishing day in 2006 and the St. Louis Cardinals' appearance in the 2006 World Series. Online ad revenue grew 24 percent to $13.5 million, which was 6.2 percent of total ad revenue. Altogether, its websites claim 12 million weekly unique visitors.

    Under The Radar News - Friday [view article]
    RE: Only a Bailout....

    Why is it that whenever we have a Republican administration we always need to bail out the banks? We need to take tax-payers money and give it to the wealthy bankers and foolhardy investors because the banks (under Reagan it was the S&Ls) got into trouble because they were not properly regulated.

    So once again the Republicans want to steal from the Social Security fund to pay the bankers for their failed policies.

    As for the economy.....
    IT'S THE DEFICIT STUPID!!!

    Only bailout will save U.S. from credit spiral. Lou Barnes, principal of Boulder West Financial Services, says a massive government bailout may be necessary to end the U.S. credit crisis. Barnes warned loan defaults could lead to a credit spiral

    Sorry, I think your all wrong about Cramer. His show is for entertainment pourposes only. Someone had to volunteer to be class clown, so when he raised his hand too fast he stuck his finger in his nose and caused brain damage, cut him some slack. Reply
