One of government's harshest critics might be latest contestant in the Bailout Sweepstakes - Newspapers.
I was catching up with one of my old friends from journalism school and he predicted newspapers would be the next in line for government help, if the auto bailout is granted. We chuckled, but today, his prediction is close to becoming a reality. State representative Frank Nicastro is begging the state of Connecticut to save the Bristol Press and New Britain's paper, The Herald.
Nicastro claims print media, particularly local papers, are still a vital component of American media, because it provides news that's "ignored by big papers,television and radio stations."
I worked at a local paper, and I'll be the first to tell you that a government-funded bailout, at the state or federal level, is NOT the solution. A government-funded press isn't a free press, and it won't fulfill its duty to cover the government without any influence. Once D.C. or your state starts throwing cash at your newspaper, they'll be obligated to return the favor.
Paul Janensch, a journalism professor at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, and a former reporter, agrees with my stance. He told Reuters, "You can't expect a watchdog to bite the hand that feeds it,"
If Nicastro is succesful in his attempt to take taxpayer money, it's only a matter of time before the major publishers head to capital hill for a slice of the federal pie.
Author Hugo Black said that criticism of government finds sanctuary in several portions of the 1st Amendment. It is part of the right of free speech. It embraces freedom of the press.
In Rueter's same article, Marc Levy, executive editor of the Herald and the Press, claimed that objectivity won't be sacrificed, and it will be business as usual.
It's the brutal reality. You'd say, 'thank you very much for helping me with that, but now we have to ask you about this thing.'
Another key fact to consider is that mulitiple surveys revealed the vast majority of print journalists who donate to politicians favor the Democratic Party. (Including a survey by NBC) Remember that the Democrat party that will have executive power and an expanded presence in congress this year.
Do you honestly think that major publishers, such as Gannett, will use an objective approach toward a government that's putting food on their table? Print publishers and editors can claim they're victims of circumstance,but so can everyone else in this economy.
Maybe if those newsroom executives had prioritized online publishing before the major shift occurred, they wouldn't be in the dire situation they now face.
I hate to see ANY newspapers close their doors, but I also don't want to the government play favorites with handouts, and if I wanted state-run media, I would move to Cuba or North Korea. Newspapers need to search for creative solutions,such as the Baltimore Sun and Washington Post's shared content agreement,which is one step in the right direction.

For novice Internet users, Google Reader, RSS feeds and other media tools may seem too foreign to tinker with. Feed Chronicle, "the collaborative newspaper" does all the work for you and arranges your story in a friendly, familiar format.
On Feed Chronicle news sources are determined by the user. The front page is displayed in a three column layout, with tabs for various news topics: World, US, Business, Technology, Entertainment, Sports, Science and Offbeat.
A simple homepage might seem like a suicide design plan for a news site, but plenty of Americans still prefer a simple and straightforward layout, such as Drudge Report. Drudge's dull design has been criticized for years, but the site attracts millions of readers each day and up to 7 billion each year.
Essentially, the publishers of Feed Chronicle devised a personal version of Drudge Report and gave more control to the reader. A customizable layout scheme allows each member to choose five different sources for each news segment of their online "paper".For a lighthearted, satirical source, you can choose the Onion. Other news sources include:
I was pleased by the two-step registration process, and within 10 minutes, I completed my custom "newspaper."
Here's my list of pros and cons for the beta version of Feed Chronicle. Pros:
Customizable news layout.
Easy interface- which caters to its target market.
Multiple news categories.
Cons:
Lack of sources for certain sections, including sports and science.
There's still room for improvement, but I think the minds at launched Feed Chronicle may have found an ideal site for news junkies.
Tips & Information
PageRank
PageRank is a family of algorithms for assigning numerical weightings to hyperlinked documents (or web pages) indexed by a search engine. Its properties are much discussed by search engine optimization (SEO) experts. The PageRank system is used by the popular search engine Google to help determine a page's relevance or importance. It was developed by Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin while at Stanford University in 1998. As Google puts it:
PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."
