Two Magazine Articles of Interest:Saving the American Newspaper and The Current Economic Crisis
We wanted to point out two very insightful articles on two topics that are dominating the headlines.The first article appeared in the April 6th edition of the magazine The Nation. Titled:” The Death and Life of Great American Newspapers”, written by John Nichols and Robert McChesney, the article explains the role the government should play in saving Newspapers. The article also details how Newspapers got into this mess (and it isn’t all due to the web)

The second article appeared in Rolling Stone magazine and was written by Matt Tiabbi.It is by far the best article that we have come across that simplifies the who, what and where’s of the current economic crisis. Warning! There is a lot of explicit language throughout the article.
