Not so fast

Article Abstract:

The government should intervene to control media mergers as their negative impact on culture may outweigh the positive influence. Media mergers, rather than giving importance to accountability and the discussion of ideas, lay undue emphasis on corporate partners and the high-spending population. The effect of mergers is worst on newspapers as conglomerates aim at profit maximization and cut costs by retrenching editors and reporters. Media mergers in the book publishing industry aim at commercially viable projects thereby overlooking their adverse impact on culture.

What's the rush? An e-epistolary debate on the 24-hour news clock

Article Abstract:

There is considerable controversy within journalism about 24-hour news provision. Some observers feel that the dynamic pace of 24-hour news coverage can bring a loss of context, while others have concerns about the possibility of more mistakes being made than in a traditional newspaper structure. It is clear that continuous news will continue to become more firmly established, both on the Internet and on cable television. However, it is important to remember that news coverage must make the world more intelligible.

The spirit of the time then was convulsive and journalists reacted to the events in varying degrees. The turmoil of the world in 1968 raised the stakes in journalism and many journalists were to realize that their profession was not a straightforward matter of retrieving the facts and making them public.
