Here some advice to have papers make money again:
1) We live in a two party system, have reporters and editors know their local activists and elected offials. If you don't understand their philosihy, motivations or internal conflicts, people will not buy someone who disparages their neighbors for being involved.
2) If you are going to hold one portion of the community to a Higher standard (i.e. WSJ at CJR), it helps that the paper does not commit the same error (Victor Navasky on the 2009 Nation Cruise).
3) Always Be Skeptical of authority, no matter what party is in power. Why has there been no studies down of the press laying down for the first 6 months of the current administration? It was bad laying down for the last one. But it seemed to be fine by CJR standards.

Dear colleagues,
I was reading with great interest The Editors' introductory remarks on Press Forward project, but seemingly it will be an inside job, i.e., strictly respecting
American specific approach? My point in particular relates to the "apocalypse of the two elephants" theory. Can it fit to the rest of the world?
Sincerely,
