The Miami Herald’s Demise Continues
Newspapers going out of business?
MIAMI — The Miami Herald announced widespread layoffs Monday, with plans to cut 250 full-time jobs — 17 percent of the newspaper’s workforce.
The monopoly that the Miami Herald has enjoyed for decades is apparently over. Many in Miami say the Herald is run by elite “dinosaur era”journalists who have very little in common with the customer base.. Management will say the layoffs are because of the slow economy and drop in ads. Others at McClatchy say it is trimming the fat. The truth is 75% of the paper is or seems to be ads and the news comes off to many as written by some think tank with a cheap pollster on the payroll. The paper is so P.C. it has become bland and predictable.
Who wants to pay to read ads? Not the next generation. It seems print media will follow the recording industry kicking, screaming and in denial toward their demise. One look at the Miami Herald site and it is obvious changes will come slowly..boring!
The fact is a world wide revolution has occurred and the shock-waves have the “Media Elites” confused and in denial. Dan Rather for instance was one of the biggest casualties of the battle of information. He and his networks loss of credibility and disgusting act of trying to sabotage an American election with forged documents sealed the long known fact that one of the most powerful institutions in America”Big Media”was corrupt and broken. His arrogance epitomized the damage “Big Media” would do unchecked. Ironically he would have gotten away with his treason had it not been for the Net Soldiers surrounding the major networks like hawks picking away the ommissions and blatant bias being shoved down peoples throats for years.
“Big Media” had a hold on the filtering of information for decades and control of information is power right? Now you have millions of sources of information from every aspect and angle.
The common man has ink now and the powerful are powerless to stop it. That is revolution!
McClatchy Chief Executive Gary Pruitt said The Miami Herald was being shrunk more than most of the group’s other newspapers, because “The Miami Herald’s performance has been worse than most, if not all, of the newspapers, and secondly there were some opportunities for greater efficiencies.” McClatchy Watch has a running tally on the numbers of employees to be laid off at each McClatchy paper. Not surprisingly, the Miami Herald leads the list with 250. What’s not clear thus far is how many of the 250 (if any) are coming out of El Nuevo Herald.
Signs are that the next ten years may not be kind to print news. Makes one wonder what the thousands of college indoctrinated Journalist grads will do when they can no longer ”make a difference” by omitting information and sprinkling their stories with opinion masked as fact….mpress

Doctor opposition to health care overhaul proposals is broad and deep, revealing concerns not just about soaring costs, declining care, possible rationing and a lack of limits on malpractice suits, but also about government competence and motives, detailed responses to a new IBD/TIPP Poll show. As reported Wednesday, 65% of the 1,376 practicing physicians who responded to a mailed questionnaire over the last two weeks said they opposed health care plans that have emerged from the administration and Congress. Just 33% supported them.
