What ails us?
I found this comment posted to the end of a business story in Chicago about the decline of our nation's newspapers very intriguing, albeit a bit romantic:
"The newspaper and the public have a responsibility to each other. It is the newspaper's job to report to us the news in their manner as they are sworn to do in a free society. We, the public have a duty; to subscribe, to buy what they print, to praise or criticize as we see fit, but most of all to nurture these bastions of free speech; for I ask each one of us; what and where would we be without a viable free press? Not only a free press, but a healthy press."
