Jay Rosen at PressThink offers a nice wrapup of a number of moves in the ever-fluid media situation (unfortunately, most of them are flowing downhill these days), most of the "woe is me; the media sky is falling" variety. But he promotes an interesting blog where the Tree House Media Project highlights a number of what I call journalist entrepreneurship opportunities. The blog says it's "about finding new models for the future." As usual, it's worth mentioning.
As to the "woe is me" news, today's variety, the Chicago Tribune will cut another 80 positions and the Star Tribune has broken off talks with its unions. As usual, Jim Romenesko has all the details. He also links to a couple of interesting columns about how things used to be and a nice blog from a couple of days ago by a "recovering journalist" suggesting lopping off some of the high salaried, M&M (for "meetings and memos") people to save jobs for actual journalists. I suspect we'll have to keep waiting for that to happen (or Hell to freeze over, whichever comes first).
