It's not going to get better.   A pretty fair look at what is wrong
with the newspaper industry can be found in:

Yesterday's News: Why Newspapers are Failing Us
John Miller -1998 
ISBN 1-55266-000-1
Dewey # 071.1 M648

 . . . and in another book called: When MBAs Rule the Newsroom.  I
don't have the data on that one however.  Miller is a professor of
journalism at Ryerson Institute in Toronto.  I like his thinking.  He
holds forth that a free press belongs to everybody, but mostly he can
look at the practices of journalism rationally instead of through his prejudices.
