Interesting read on the decline in the news media in the Ntnl Post

Terence Corcoran suggests that not even government funding and meddling can save the news industry in Canada...and that the government involvement is potentially dangerous.

He cites social media giants, Facebook and Google having an impact and the lack of performance by the CBC as a factor as well.

Here is more on this...and again feel free to comment and add to the discussion...

The world would be so good if it weren't for some people...

Some might suggest that Terry himself is representative of the decline of the News Media.

Who might suggest that and are you referring to the entire publishing industry or only the National Post (on which you have previously dumped).       Please explain

Worthy read on six AM radio hosts "across the fruited plain".
