It's incredible that they just refuse to get it. Penny, the press barons and their minions will twist and turn, spin this 12 ways to Sunday and blame everyone but their shoddy reporting.

The agenda driven slop, poor quality journalism and blatant refusal to check facts with care has finally taken its toll on the MSM. It's a trust issue and a content issue. Even when the hacks at the NYT's went online, their news is two days past what bloggers have been discussing. We are still buying good books in spite to the rising cost. Format isn't the issue if the content is quality. 2007 isn't going to be any better for print journalism. They just don't get it.

The numbers are breathtaking (in the way that standing on the edge of a cliff feels breathtaking): In a dramatic repudiation of newspapers by investors, the shares of publicly held publishing stocks in the last two years lost nearly $13.5 billion in value, or 20.5% of their market capitalization. To put this in perspective, the vaporized value is greater than the enterprise value of the Tribune Co. or the combined value of the McClatchy, New York Times and Media General publishing companies.
