Good idea to save journalism?
grandalf: I'd define journalism (not cynically at all) as having the objective of filtering through all the stuff that is going on and telling us what is important AND what is not important.In essence it's not what was not in the paper at all but what was in the 2" article on D4 that makes the strongest statement about journalistic values.  We know what's on page A1 -- it's the big story that everyone would hear about even w/o journalists.  But the stuff that is buried is where the paper pats us on the head and says "let someone else worry about that little detail".I'm thinking of trying to figure out a way to make some sort of tag cloud view based on the above -- maybe showing "important" stuff on the left and "unimportant" stuff on the right.  Both statements are equally significant and subject to the same editorial discretion.
