On Don Imus’s program this morning Andy Rooney, CBS News curmudgeon, confirmed the observation I made here that part of the problem that Big Media is having is due to the corporatization of the media and enormous cutbacks in the numbers of reporters, copywriters, and editors. According to Rooney CBS, NBC, and ABC have staffs a third the size they used to and a mere handful of reporters overseas.
Bloggers aren’t pushing Big Media aside. They’re filling the void left by Big Media abandoning the field.
