Less stories with no lede quote until the 10th graf and more stories with verifieable citations to source documents. 2) Learn to admit errors openly and up front, make timely corrections and apologies instead of hiding behind the First Amendment. It's about the truth, not the amount of error you are allowed to print. (I can't believe the NYT is hiding Calame's column behind a pay screen!) 3) Earn the public's trust back by disclosing interests more openly. Let readers decide if there's a conflict of interest.

Anyway was glad for Jeff's quick pointer to Dr. Searls, and want to hear what erikso thinks of on the weekend. My weekend I am compelled to read (again) "Understanding Media" or in comicbook form "The Medium is the Massage". What I like about McLuhan is that he gets so confused that you can't help but start writing your own ideas. As the great food writer Arthur Liebling said when he was on the beach at Omaha - "There is nothing like a good strafing to build up the appetite". Or to put it in my terms, when I read, I write.
