Editorial: For sale by president?

by

Media consolidation is a touchy subject among journalists. Buyouts and cost-cutting measures force the press into the ugly realization that their duty to serve the public is supported by a necessity to perform in the marketplace. The ethical and personal difficulty of reporting on massive changes to one's own livelihood is a challenge, and journalists are defensive about their role as public servants - see the clamor over Rupert Murdoch's acquisition of The Wall Street Journal last year, or last week's resignation of the Editor-in-Chief of the Los Angeles Times for resisting downsizing.
