Another week, another conference on how to save the journalism industry. But what do they accomplish? Former newspaper editor and blogger Alan Mutter has been to more than a few. He says they're full of aspiration and opinion but short on the business data that'll help the industry.

When Freedom of the Press is Not a Priority

Happened upon a broadcast of a Yale conference in the Law School about the subject of that infernal jingle. Apparently, Paul Bass and his New Haven Independent web only local newspaper is one of the few that have had any success in supporting themselves or had journalistic coups. Thus, he was quite the celebrity at the conference.
I regret to say that getting an update on local news and weather on a different channel interfered with hearing the presentation by WNYC President Laura Walker but her remarks in the question and answer sessions (plus, being unaware of whose presentation I was about to miss) made me very disappointed that I had made that choice. I hope that she played a tape recorded version of the jingle for the audiences she was reaching.
OK. I love your show and you've had your fun for months and months now -- especially in the latest show. I simply can't take the jingle any more. Give me the stories but not the jingle.
Stop "jingleism" today.
