Today was another example of newspapers trumpeting stale news on their front pages, reinforcing the impression that there's no point in reading them because they're so far behind in reporting what's happening.
USA Today lead headline: Obama sharpens response on Iran
Wall Street Journal above the fold: Obama rips Iran in Tactical shift
New York Times lead headline: Obama condemns Iran's iron fist against protests
Denver Post (bottom right using a McClatchy Newspapers story): Obama condemns Iran's crackdown, lauds protesters
This "news" in Wednesday's editions comes from a midday (Eastern Time) news conference on Tuesday. I heard it through the day on the radio and TV and read many updates on the Web, including on some of these papers' sites. Yet, still, this is what editors decide to deliver the next morning.
I worry how damaging this is for the future of newspapers. The first thing I read most mornings is the WSJ news digest on the the front page. It's truly useful because it gives me a good sense of what happened in the intervening 24 hours. But I'm not interested in a longer story about something I already know about unless it truly takes me into new territory.
I think the insistence on sticking with a conventional approach to news could be one of the factors that will drive newspapers into the ground - except for those loyalists who just can't give up on reading a paper. Maybe that's a rational approach to running a business, but it sure is dull and it sure doesn't seem to demand much from the newspaper or its staff.

What does "select profile" mean?
ReplyDeleteWhere do you see select profile? Is this when you try to post a comment?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteFor me, posting is not a problem as I have:
Google Account
OpenID
etc.
For a noob who has none of these, this is a HUGE barrier.
And, the TypePad (which has replaced TypeKey) id does not work.
ReplyDeleteIt puts http://profile.typekey.com/davebarnes (TypePad) in the pulldown list and then I "illegal characters in the URL".
WordPress does not work for me either.
ReplyDeleteAnd AOL is now Bebo and requires a new login. And a very painful process to switch from AIM to Bebo.
Hi Dave Barnes,
ReplyDeleteI think you are right.word press is not working for me also..

Your credit officer might know about an exceptional high hazard advance that you would meet all requirements for. In any event, your financier may know of another loan specialist around the local area that may have the capacity to help you.

أزل جميع الكتب من خزانة الكتب واحرقها في نار. لا تتطلب إلى كتب! الكتب هي للضعفاء والمفكرين ، ولم تعد هزيلة. أنت الشدة المتجسد. تعم النار بالدفء الذي استعملته لتشتق من اتصال بشري. فجأة ، تشعر أنك أدنى وحيدا. كل فرد آخر هو وحده. الجميع آخر هم وحدهم؟ ليس هناك داعي للقلق بخصوص النُّظُم السليمة عقب هذه اللحظة.
