Comments on: Washington Post Calls Out Its Own Scandal, But Is That Enough? http://adeolumen.com/2009/07/14/postscanda/ Who's got the light?

I've been reading with great interest of your insights into the dynamic media ecology, its efficacy and consequences. Keep it up - I'll continue to read as I find the time. As for the Washington Post scandal, Iowahawk (in an irreverent parody) boils the situation down to what I think is the key point of your post - here we have an aging establishment in an industry that is hemorrhaging money and power, rationalizing away its most precious commodity - journalistic integrity - in a licentious effort to retain its connections to the power brokers of the world. http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2009/07/please-do-not-touch-the-dancers.html I agree, an independent press is an integral component to an open and free democracy. It's too bad the traditional press has been so slow in devising effective survival paradigms. Mark,

I agree, an independent press is an integral component to an open and free democracy. It’s too bad the traditional press has been so slow in devising effective survival paradigms.
