On the State of the News

Here's an interesting article about news reporting in general and the growth of Bloomberg specifically. Very interesting reading as the story boils down to a "faster news, with (probably) less analysis".

An Important Stat: "The number of newspaper reporters is in decline. According to decennial workforce estimates published in The American Journalist in the 21st Century, the number of daily newspaper journalists rose steadily from 38,800 in 1972 to a peak of 67,207 in 1992 before sliding to 58,769 in 2002, the most recent year surveyed."
