“I’m glad to see that no one in this industry has had the gall to ask Washington for a bailout. True, journalism provides a valuable service to the public. But if the public isn’t willing to pay for that service, we have no grounds to demand a rescue. It’s our job as journalists to provide something people want in a form that they want and are willing to pay for. If we can’t, we deserve our fate. But I hold out hope that we can.”
Steve Chapman, Chicago Tribune
We strongly hope that you can, Mr.Chapman.
