    Yep it’s sad on one hand to see the old institutions fall. But there is some hope. Journalists don’t NEED them any more to reach their audience. Largely it was for prestige and reputation that they were still held in any esteem. And that’s being thrown away.

    I would still like to see some sort of association/group arise. Vetting every journalist individually by every reader is out of the question. I’m sure it will happen eventually.

        Absolutely. Which is why it’s important for groups and associations like that to exist to help and let people know which ones are worth patronage.
