U.S. press: bright new dawn

Washington Post Company

The outgoing executive editor of the Washington Post predicts a bright future for United States newspapers, writing: "The future of newspaper newsrooms is especially important to the future of accountability journalism in the United States because they still produce the most original reporting, compared to stand-alone websites, local television stations or even the big broadcast and cable networks. But they also must cope with high fixed costs of production and distribution of printed newspapers. How they restructure their economic models, take better advantage of the internet and define their public service missions in a time of enormous stress will determine the future of the accountability journalism that is so important in a representative democracy."
