Host Steve Goldstein and guests Steve Doig, Professor, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, ASU and Phil Alvidrez, former VP of News, KTVK-TV, Partner, Magic Dust Television discuss how the Internet has changed news reporting, when and if Gannett newspapers will lay-off dozens more reporters in search of a tidy bottom line, and where did all the investigative journalists go?

Re: Media Streams

I stopped getting the paper years ago and now read from various papers online. I once heard that newspapers would charge for online subscriptions like WSJ, but so far, all you do is register. How can papers survive if more people like me are reading news online and not buying the product or seeing the ads?

Re: Media Streams

The media (& the AZ Republic in particular) should be ashamed at themselves. They are only in the business to make money and put forth their agenda (making more money). I was taught that the media is the unofficial 4th branch of the government, yet the media is owned by the same people who own the politicians. Can you guess what that does to the media? Yup, the media no longer provides the public service it ought to. Shame on the media for their inability to give the people truth.

Re: Media Streams

I want to compliment KJZZ for the show on how local media is changing. There was much information I was unaware of. Here's what stood out to me:

1. how digital technology is changing how news is consumed and delivered.
2. The interview with John Dougherty. It is not just New Times' loss, but the whole states. Now I am starting to wonder what is going on that I should know about but never will because of the demise of local investigative journalism
3. The question to the editor of the AZ Republic was the first I've heard of job cuts at that paper. Too bad the gentleman booted the question.

Keep up the good work. This is why I listen to NPR and KJZZ. No where else will I find such information and analysis.
