Bill Moyers

I’m a fan of Bill Moyers, as I’ve been watching Bill Moyers Journal for a while now. If you’re interested in journalism, you may enjoy his speech at the National Conference for Media Reform:

The most interesting thing to me was his point that as newspaper coverage moves to a model supported by contextual advertising, important stories that don’t perform well with this model (e.g. stories about the Iraq War) will decrease in prominence. I’m not sure if it’s true, but it’s worth consideration.
