Just confirmed my appearance tonight, talking about cutbacks at newspapers and elsewhere in the media -- and what it means, or doesn't mean, for the traditional watchdog role of the press, and for the growth of journalism on the Web.
Should be a good discussion. As much as we all complain about the mainstream media, we should also recognize the important watchdog role played (particularly) by newspapers.
He's right.
