FOCUS: Is corporate greed the source of many of our problems?

By Ashley Herndon  |  This expansion of greed needs journalists and the owners of media to take notice and act.  Where are Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell, Jack Anderson, and William Serrin in today’s media? My best guess is the current corporate owners will not hire them unless they lie like the actors under the thumb of people like Fox, Newsmax, One America and ilk.

BRACK: Status of the newspaper industry is far from its best days

By Elliott Brack  |  People often ask me about the status of newspapers in our country. However, I am no expert, but I have spent a life in the business, and know others are seeing newspapers decline is not what they were expecting.

NEWS: Fourth Estate is losing ground, which hurts democracy

By Elliott Brack  |  Here on the eve of Independence Day, the Fourth Estate may be losing a battle that cannot help our American system of government. Unless it can be turned around, this battle will be adding to the woes, and may doom, our way of life in the United States of America.

BRACK: It’s not always easy to be fair to all in the media business
