Chicago Tribune: A whole lot of soul-searching and self-examination going on Don writes as an ombudsman, so his style is pedantic, but he brings up some good points. The re-examination of news management and newsroom problems is something that we academics need to track. I agree with his comment about the central and important role for an editor, however, I think media outlets must also be a lot more open to allowing viewer/users to access the raw information sources. Control is now in the viwer/user hands or more rightly, mind. The V/user will want to see what the Editor brings into the info pipeline, but will also want to triangulate on occasion and get the "raw feed."
