Journalism is at risk according to the Columbia University Journalism School.

Well... I'm in total agreement... that journalism is at risk.... except giving papers tax breaks, etc is not the answer.

The answer is for "journalists" to once again become "journalists" and refuse to be simple propaganda mimes for this administration in Washington DC.

Report urges action to preserve journalism

NEW YORK (AP) - Journalism is at risk and American society must act to preserve it. That's a key message in a new report co-authored by Len Downie, former executive editor of The Washington Post.

In a paper commissioned by the Columbia University Journalism School, Downie and Michael Schudson, a Columbia professor, argue the government, universities and nonprofit foundations should step in as newspapers suffer financially.

Among other steps, the authors recommend that the government ensure the tax code allows local news outlets to operate as non-profits. They urge philanthropic organizations to support local reporting. And they suggest a fund be established using fees from telecom or Internet providers for grants to innovative local news groups.

You might take FOX news as an example of a news group dedicated to "journalism" and not becoming the propaganda arm of the government.
