merican journalism is collapsing. Newspapers are
laying off reporters at an unprecedented rate as big-
city dailies are shuttered. Television newsrooms are
cutting back to bare bones as commercial radio news
disappears. Internet sites are aggregating what is left of
old-media information while producing too little that is
new or based on hard digging. Every theory of popular
government tells us democracy is unsustainable without an
informed citizenry and journalism that monitors the powerful.
Yet, credible journalism is disappearing and the capacity to
monitor is withering.
Conventional wisdom says the collapse of journalism
is digitally driven, that old media just can't keep up with
that which is new and free, and that a Great Recession is
accelerating the decline of newspaper advertising revenues.
Old media apologists propose to let big media corporations
establish a cartel on the web. New media fantasists tell us
to simply count on the bloggers to come through.
Robert W. McChesney and John Nichols reject the
convention wisdom. The award-winning authors of twenty
books on media and politics demonstrate that the crisis
precedes the Internet and the current economic turbulence.
Rather, it stems from the hollowing out of journalism under
corporate control, which has increased dramatically since
the late
1
970s. Moreover, they argue, the problem is rooted
in the longstanding tension between advertising-supported,
profit-making media and democracy-sustaining journalism.
The cofounders of Free Press, the nation's media
reform network, McChesney and Nichols systematically
debunk notions that old media firms can successfully
migrate to the web or that the blogosphere will magically
meet our journalism needs.
McChesney and Nichols argue Americans must
recognize that the era of commercial news media is ending
and a new system of independent journalism must be
created and subsidized by the public if democracy is to
survive
and prosper. Their riveting historical research
demonstrates how the American press system was forged
by Jefferson and Madison with government subsidies and
policies designed to promote journalistic innovation and
competition. It is this tradition we must renew to solve the
current crisis for journalism by unleashing a new age of great
journalism and enhanced democracy. We can, as Tom
Paine put it, begin the world again. |
