Journalists are confused and scared. We work long hours for relatively unimpressive paychecks-the youngest of us scramble for unpaid internships, most of which don't even lead to full-time jobs-and we are working in an industry that's changing so fast that we have to hold panel discussions to figure out what the heck is going on. Print publications are bleeding subscribers, traditional nightly news programs can't figure out how to stay relevant, and even the brightest, most adaptable journalists have not yet learned how to get people to pay for their work. Basically, we're like the music industry, except none of us can sing.

I can relate to your frustration.It's really a shame,but as much as I enjoy reading a newspaper I have to tell you that this is a rapidly shrinking industry.The information age is here and times are changing.I talked to a lawyer the other day and he told me that people that are being arrested are looking for their lawyers on the internet on their phone as they are being processed.His newspaper ads and phone directories are becoming a thing of the past.There were many very talented blacksmiths and wagon makers that went out of business with the advent of the automobile.
