@Michael

Fair point.

This month was particularly quite. I think the first step would be to test this via the Google Group.

I also think next month will have a different flavor to it all – and might lend itself to something like that.

These are interesting, but I think that we could get a lot more out of these if there were a lot of give and take over the month instead of a deadline at the end of the month. Would it be possible to have a topic of the month and then an on-going discussion and wiki as opposed to a summation of everyone’s blogs?

Hi Kathy
This was interesting, but I have to disagree:
“I don’t think that America’s news media have been given the gift of the First Amendment so that moguls can negotiate monopoly rents into millionaire status. I don’t think that America’s news media have been given the gift of the First Amendment in order to glorify celebrity culture (think Kim Kardashian, for example).”
The First Amendment says “Congress Shall Make No Law”. That’s pretty clear. It doesn’t say ‘here’s what you have to do with a free press’. Making money with a free press is the only way to have a free press. Otherwise, who pays for it? and if ‘we the people’ want to see Kim Kardashian or Cupcake Wars or anything else, well, we may have debased our educational system and created an idiot society, but so be it. That’s who we are. The last society to print ‘only important stuff’ was the Soviet Union, and while Pravda had great circulation numbers, I don’t think it was all that readable. The problem here is that ‘your’ idea of what is ‘important’ doesn’t’ mean anything – neither does anyone else’s idea of ‘what is important’. The nice thing about a free press tied to a market is that everyone gets to decide what they think is important. That you don’t think it’s important or junk or whatever..well, too bad. That’s life in a free society. That’s the price we pay for a true First Amendment. So let the money roll! And let the market decide. As Abraham Lincoln might have said – it’s the worst system, except for all the others.
