The Fourth Estate: Media as watchdogs

Push beats pull and the death of the captive audience

Conclusion

Working Section

 Is investigative journalism essential to our political system? Can investigative journalism be done outside traditional commercial newsgathering organizations? What will happen to investigative journalism as print newspaper become unprofitable? Is the copyright system essential to producing sustained works of effort like investigative journalism? In copyright law's current form? What about broadcasting monopolies? Are they essential? Can other actors step in to subsume the role of investigative journalism? Publicly sponsored? By government taxes? By charity? By patrons? What can be learned from the credit agencies' failure? Credit ratings are sometimes referred to as "the shortest editorial." Is investigative journalism a similarly flawed system?

The net has lowered the cost of collaboration. Has the net lowered the cost of investigative journalism?
