Depressing, but interesting take on future of news

The news has been so depressing lately (and I've been so busy) that I haven't posted much in recent days. I'm still busy and the news is still depressing, but I wanted to call your attention to this Salon article. Headlined "The Death of News," the column Gary Kamyia paints a bleak future not only of newspapers, but of news itself. It's the kind of "big" thinking that we seldom see in new media, but the kind that gives me some hope that the future isn't going to be nothing but Drudge, Fox and Keith Olbermann.
