“What we need is journalism”

I don’t usually simply link out to other blog posts, but in this case I feel compelled to link to Clay Shirky‘s extremely perceptive post entitled Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable.

He manages to post very well thought out explorations of unresolved questions and issues presented by the impact of the internet on old industries and models. If you haven’t seen his writing on micro-payments, it’s worth Googling.

Go read it for more choice quotes like this – “The expense of printing created an environment where Wal-Mart was willing to subsidize the Baghdad bureau.”
