From Silicon Valley to Miami Beach
In speaking with a Reuters reporter, Tom Rosenstiel, the highly respected head of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, said: "I think the challenge for the newspaper industry is that it's trying to persuade the advertising community that it's not a dying industry, but it's an emerging one making the transition to a new platform. To be an emerging industry, that suggests that you have some of the hallmarks of Silicon Valley. You don't wear a tie anymore and you wear blue jeans and turtlenecks, and maybe a two-day beard."

Good grief -
Declining advertising in newspapers? You got to be kidding - the recycle bin is the first stop I make after fetching each Sunday's N&R out of my driveway. After removing all those silly & irritating advertising inserts the remaining N&R feels five pounds lighter. Think I'll do a N&R before inserts & after inserts weigh-in next Sunday and let you know the difference in pounds. Kind of like I sometimes do a morning weigh-in before and after . . . well, you know -
