Michael Miner of Chicago Reader writes about a session he attended this week with John Darnton, the former newspaperman who wrote a novel about murder in the newsroom recently.
Darnton decries the loss of standards that will come with the cuts in newspapers and how the blogosphere won't replicate what's lost --- when the truth is buried, it won't dig.
It's a sentimental look, a little nostalgic, but also sage about the impact of any loss of quality.
