Mr. Reilly article is on point. What concerns us is the future of the print media and its victimization by the internet and cable TV that provides so many no waiting alternatives 24/7. The corporatization of the print and broadcast media by the "bean counters" only concerned with squeezing the bottomline for quarterly profits to satisfy carnivorous high level corporate officers, bankers, and shareholders is posing a serious threat to our system of a free press with its career journalists. When families like the Taylors of The Globe or the Stoddards of The Worcester Telegram ownd the newspapers dips in profits did not matter. Additionally, they lived locally and were involved with the economic and well being of their respective communities. Many did not like ther paternalistic ways and criticized the Taylor family Globe's liberalism and Mr. Stoddard's far right wing union demonizing philosophy. However, for the most part reporters, editorial writers,columnists enjoyed a career for life with a career ladder with slight interference if any. That has now changed with the corporatization. These newsroom journalists are nothing more than commodities enjoiying no security from paycheck to paycheck. This is resulting in those reporting doing the unthinkable in years past of tuning resumes on a hourly basis and dimishing loyalty to management because of fearing being "pink slipped" without notice.The profession for journalists with its code of ethics is sinking under this disease. Mr.Reilly strikes a nerve when he discusses The Globe's and The Telegram's out of town New York ownership which would be analagous to the Yankees owning The Red Sox and treating the Sox like a starving sudsidary farm club and bleeding its lifeblood. This is what we are observing by the contuous downsizing, outsourcing, and use of independent correspondents. I am fearful of this continuous trend and most concerned of what will behappening to our press freedoms and especially what is happening to a new lack of investigative reporting by the print. Crusading reporting for the common good against special interests will be a relic of the past. The demise of print readers because of the computer and the interenet has provided other ways to get all the information we want when we want further bypassing newspapers This along with with non traditonal advertising on websites is allowing the consumer and businesses the ability to purchase goods and services 365 days a year and anytime of the day or night with having to go through waiting for their daily paper to arrive. Hopefully,newspapers in our country will reinvent themselves rapidly to continue to give us the best press freedoms that we all want and have enjoyed since the inception of our nation.
