The Baroness and I rolled back into town earlier this evening, so I had to get to the happs on what we missed in the last few days. This will be roundup style.
- Editor and Publisher released a study on the decline in circulation at the top U.S. papers in the last four years. The lowlights? The L.A. Times lost 20% of its readership and the San Francisco Chronicle lost 30%. Huge losses in such a short period of time. I could tell you more, but the E&P link doesn't work, so I couldn't get to the entire article.
- The Wall Street Journal is planning more sports and political coverage. Welcome to the party, boys!
- The Wii rocks. I gotta get me one of those. I hear they're using them for exercise in elderly homes. Nintendo must be all over that market.
- Apparently newspapers are not playing nice with Craigslist. Several years after fawning stories carried the day, the Craigslist CEO says his "journalist friends" have been told to write negative stories about them. And you wonder why people think newspapers are biased.

Interesting study about newspapers circulation. I think another reason for the decline is that people are getting tired of the dishonesty in some of the large print media outlets. I feel that many of them have sacrificed honest reporting in order to push a political and social agenda. People want honest reporting and we are not seeing that as much these days. Just my two cents...
