The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism released its annual State of the Media report this morning.
Read it on the Columbia Journalism Review Web site.
The information is as bleak as we knew it would be and includes:
• The newspaper industry has lost $1.6 billion in reporting and editing capacity in the past year.
• Online advertising, content pay walls and the idea of unbiased news aren't working.
But, I don't think this should discourage anyone. We knew all this. Now is the time to move forward with more news analysis, opinions and community engagement. We as newspapers should foster and host the conversation.
If we don't, someone else will.
