Sign up for The Media Today, CJR’s daily newsletter.
If you missed On The Media this weekend, don’t miss its “The Inheritance of Loss” segment–in which Brooke Gladstone explores the results of a paper’s closure, overall, on a city. OTM, alas, had several cities to choose among for a profile of a lost paper’s effect…but it wound up profiling Seattle. Gladstone interviews a neighborhood blogger (from the popular West Seattle blog), alt-weekly staffers, online-only reporters (at the remaining, online-only Post-Intelligencer), and the editor of the Seattle Times, the P-I’s old rival, to paint a picture of Seattle’s new media landscape.
Well worth a listen.
