How to Save Newspapers
Wonderful. A cogent justification of what I have been shouting in deaf ears for some years now - newspapers must go upmarket or die.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.

I used to suggest this all the time. But Meyer's faith in "investigative journalism" is misplaced. What passes for such in the U.S. tends to be so tendentious and partisan as to be worthless. It doesn't really investigate anything. It selects information that will advance an agenda decided upon in advance.
