Fascinating on how to make it so journalism can survive

Journalism arose in this land quite early, before the advent of the USA, and it continues, in a greatly weakened state to this day. We need journalists and especially more investigatory and critical journalism as an alternative to the "stenographers to power" that make up so much of the corporate media. But how will journalism survive when corporate newspapers finish collapsing, done in by their own fecklessnesss, free papers on the intenet, free classifieds on Craigslist, and the rising costs of moving heavy piles of dead trees around so that it can be saturated with ink and dumped, unread, back into the recycling bin? Here's some thoughts worth considering.
