Thanks. Like the author, I was encouraged by some good news about the paper biz. I don't subscribe to any print editions but am very fond of several newspapers' websites.

I considered a job at a newspaper just a few weeks ago, fearing that my present stint at a bank is probably rotting my soul. Sadly, the difference in pay was SO staggering that I just couldn't, especially with my wife back in school fulltime. Maybe when she's out. It'd be a neat time to be a web developer at a newspaper.

And (so I don't get accused of thread-hijacking) yes, Murrow's words are every bit as important and applicable now as they have ever been. Moreso, some might reasonably argue.
