Television Losing Ground to the Internet as a Main Source of News
By Bruce Drake - Politics DailyTelevision remains the main source of national and international news for most Americans, but it is steadily losing its lead over the Internet, according to a Pew Research Center poll conducted Dec. 1-5. The trend toward the Internet is particularly marked among 18-to-29 year-olds who now favor it over television to learn what's going on in the country and the world. Sixty-six percent of those surveyed said they get their dose of news from television compared to 41 percent who said they count on the Internet. While the number of those using the Internet for most of their news has not changed ...
WikiWatch: Observing the News Media in France
By Carla Baranauckas - Politics DailyEven as the news media weres undergoing immense shifts in the United States in 2006, the State Department was taking note of the media landscape in other countries, according to a cable posted on WikiLeaks' website on Wednesday. A cable dated Nov. 6, 2006, from the American Embassy in Paris to the secretary of state, said the embassy "has been reviewing and recalibrating its media strategy for 2006-2007 to determine the appropriate attention to keep on traditional print media while pivoting to expand our efforts with radio and TV media, as well as with the new Internet media." With a ...
NY Times Editor Blushes Over Subscriber 'Wisecrack'
By Hugh Collins - AOL News(Nov. 11) -- A New York Times editor is blushing today after he was quoted disparaging the intelligence of the paper's print readers. Gerald Marzorati, an assistant managing editor at the Times, told a conference in New York that the paper had maintained a large subscription base thanks in part to people not checking their credit card statements. "I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they're literally not understanding what they're paying," Marzorati said Wednesday, according to Forbes. "That's the beauty of the credit card." Today, Marzorati told AOL News the comment was ...

'Beyond the Killing Fields': Why Journalism Is in a 'State of Chaos'
By Sydney Schanberg - Politics DailyFive Politics Daily staffers -- Carl Cannon, Melinda Henneberger, Walter Shapiro, David Wood and James Grady -- are joining in an online discussion with Pulitzer Prize-winning former New York Times reporter Sydney Schanberg about politics and the press as seen through the prism of his new book, "Beyond the Killing Fields." Here is Schanberg's response to David Wood, who lamented the shrinking of foreign news bureaus and asked Schanberg how the great tradition can be kept alive. With life on our planet spinning faster and faster on the electronic wings of the digital revolution, I have no ...
Nikki Haley and Rand Paul Races: Where Have All the Reporters Gone?
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyOn the cusp of her historic landslide victory in the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary, Nikki Haley swooped into Hartsville last Saturday afternoon. More than 100 Tea Party activists waited in the scorching heat for the Indian-American state legislator, who had fought off two public but totally unproven accusations of adultery and survived a Republican state senator castigating her as a "raghead." It was the perfect political scene to cap the weekend's campaign coverage less than 72 hours before the state's most raucous, riveting and, at times, repugnant gubernatorial primary in ...
New York Times Plans to Charge Frequent Web Visitors
By David Sessions - Politics DailyThe New York Times announced Wednesday that it will begin charging frequent users of its Web site by next year. While the paper said details are still being worked out, the Times' new subscription model will allow visitors to see a certain number of articles for free and charge for additional views. In a move similar to that of other publications online, the paper will ask its most committed readers to pay more for their content, while still capitalizing on the stray Web traffic that makes NYTimes.com the most-viewed newspaper site in the world. Newspapers throughout the beleaguered industry ...

'If You See It in the Sun, It's So': A Christmas Wish for Newspapers
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyIf you are reading this article, you are doing so online, as Politics Daily is a digital portal in our Digital Age. In other words, I'm no Luddite; in fact, I've bet my career that Politics Daily and other online publications are the future of journalism. Nonetheless, my Christmas wish is that in 2010 newspaper publishers will patch up their leaky hulls and right their ships. A great deal depends on it. Until yesterday, Saturday, December 19, 2009 was the last time a newspaper had appeared on my doorstep. After our recent snowstorm, Arlington, Va., where I live, couldn't manage to plow the ...
