A good piece in the Washington Post on not only the decline in those employed in the news media, but also an increase in people to believe the media covers up (rather then admits) errors. Probably nothing new to those folks who are up on this type of thing, but still interesting how the number of folks watching and reading the news has declined, even as we find ourselves with a good half-dozen 24/7 cable news sations. A couple of items further down in the column mention that the audience for cable news has not increased since late 2001 (shortly after the 9/11 events and their aftermath) and that the audience for National Public Radio (so often attacked by the right) has been increasing almost steadily for the past 10 years.
