The Michigan Messenger: Study: Mainstream news disappears workers

Eartha Jane Melzer · 1 year ago

Are smaller papers doing a better job? The Traverse City Record Eagle is running a three day series --"Living on the Edge"-- on how local people struggle to get by in the failing state and national economy.

Excellent question There's an invisible firewall between the BIG papers and the small papers that never seems to be transcended, too...it's unusual to see stories survive that firewall without being distorted and twisted around by the time it makes the BIG paper (as you well know).

The BIG papers don't seem to notice this, and their product is weak for it, likely hurts their circulation.
