Thread: Anybody see PBS Frontline: "News War" pt.3 last n

This investigative series on what is happening to modern journalism in the U.S. is excellent. Part III describes "Changing times, new audiences, pressures for profits, and the Internet revolution are upending mainstream media's old values and business models. Can anyone predict the future for news and in-depth reporting?" Indepth on why LATimes is now inferior. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/newswar/part3/

The entire show can be downloaded. PBS includes interviews and a discussion blog on the page. It is long so give yourself time to watch if you are interested.

Thanks Shocked.

I've always thought Frontline has produced some really good programs.


I was going to PM you with the info below, but thought anyone else that might be interested should at least be made aware of it:

One of my favorites is "The Man Who Knew" - the story of John O'Neill
former counterterrorism chief at the FBI. For those that have a general lack of confidence in the government's ability to protect you and your family, well, this will NOT be an easy thing to watch. It is incredibly informative and truly tragic - in not so obvious ways - in it's outcome.

Here's the link (you can view it online too - lower left corner):
Note - it is organized into 7 segments, so it does take a while to watch in it's entirety).

While it might not seem to have a direct connection to immigration/illegal immigration/etc. - it does at least secondarily involve ID forgery and transportation access.
