Great post. I recently started a blog about this kind of thing (URL omitted) because of an article and subsequent conversation I had with a reporter at the LA Times that was just unbelievable. I just read an older article by the same guy in which he referred to the city council of San Diego as "lawmakers".

I've heard and read the lamentations of what people see as the damage done to the Tribune Company news outlets by Sam Zell, but at some point somebody is in the newsroom and letting these basic errors make it onto the front page of an historic newspaper.

Thanks for the post and thanks for staying engaged.

Thanks, Praz. It's true – with the new nature of social passalong greasing distribution online, we have so many more trusted sources and endorsers. The editor is not longer the most important authority.

Fantastic post here. As someone who is heavily involved in the business of publishing E-books for the iPad (and a Blog Designer), and agree on almost all counts.

People are more likely to believe (and even read) things that their peers have written about on their blogs as opposed to what the latest magazine reviews say for a particular topic.

With traditional print, everything was VERY heavy content focussed, but not reader focussed at all-however that has indeed changed to.

Thanks again.
