Case in point, the News-Leader did not cover Craig Harpool's news conference kicking off his campaign for state senate. KY3 did. That's local news not covered by the local newspaper, covered by local television.<BR/><BR/>Print and broadcast have good and bad journalists. So there is truth in your statements. But you appear to be condemning all broadcast journalism and promoting all print journalism. The National Enquirer is not tabloid television.Larry Burkumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076508753743010819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18550865.post-1148330312982762092006-05-22T13:38:00.000-07:002006-05-22T13:38:00.000-07:00Agreed as far as the print vs. TV debate, but I th...Agreed as far as the print vs. TV debate, but I think you where my biases lie on that one!<BR/><BR/>One other thing that jumped out to me in this study was low numbers (mostly single digit percentages) for the Audience-Related Factors in Decline Support for newspapers. Only a few journalists believe that the public's misunderstanding of what we do and how and why we do it is at fault for declinging cred.<BR/><BR/>DO NOT get me wrong. I am NOT blaming the audience. I blame ourselves. Journalists hound every institution in America for greater transparency and yet we do such a bad job of being transparent ourselves. There are a lot of factors in play here, as the study shows, but I believe we are partly to blame for the public's misunderstand of what journalists do.Mike Brothershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11023750373007989101noreply@blogger.com
