NSFW: Trust me on the sunscreen (and the future of journalism)
Excellent! This is the point I have wanted to make with regard to real journalism.
I am convinced that there needs to be either state funding for journalism or some independent financier needs to make this case to the public. If the Kindle were $150 I’d have a subscription to the NYTimes, Newsweek and The Economist right along side my Atlantic Monthly and Wired.
Seriously, I won’t miss the two page ads and classifieds at all.
