- A growing number of news outlets are chasing relatively static or even shrinking audiences for news

• Much of the new investment in journalism today - much of the information revolution generally - is in disseminating the news, not in collecting it.

• In many parts of the news media, we are increasingly getting the raw elements of news as the end product.

• Journalistic standards now vary even inside a single news organization.

• Without investing in building new audiences, the long-term outlook for many traditional news outlets seems problematic.

• Convergence seems more inevitable and potentially less threatening to journalists than it may have seemed a few years ago.

• The biggest question may not be technological but economic.

• Those who would manipulate the press and public appear to be gaining leverage over the journalists who cover them.
