Press Leadership
Somewhat as this writer, I use "press" as a general encompassing term for the information gathering and disseminating operations of a number of media types. In their earlier forms, they were thought to be the instruments of democratic enlightenment. Our information society has now changed and imbued them with a slavish pursuit of target demographics. The forces of the marketplace of ideas (that were to assure their social honesty and loyalty) seem to be driving out the new ideas that vibrant, enduring cultures require. This is a failing that has no liberal or conservative bias.
The richness the press enjoys (financial and social) cannot become an excuse to forsake the leadership role that it must undertake. ¶ 11/21/2005 08:58:00 AM
