“
A couple of weeks ago, I was looking at some newspaper clippings from a job candidate who had been an intern reporter at the P-I and later worked at the Spokane newspaper. You would have expected his work while still in college to be of lower quality in comparison to what he did later. But his P-I stuff stood out.
Why was that, I asked?
He acknowledged that his editors at the P-I may have helped made his work a little better. That doesn’t surprise me.
It’s a little early to be writing about the P-I’s demise. But things don’t look good. So I thought I’d better just say it while I still have the chance.
I love the P-I.

“ We can’t afford to stand by and watch journalism in America melt away, a supposed victim of technological progress that is destroying a traditional business model. Not a day goes by when we don’t hear or read about the difficult if not dire straights of the newspaper business. I don’t pretend to have the answers, but we had better start asking questions and realizing that the loss of the P-I, among others, would be a staggering loss to our community and a direct assault on the American people’s right to know.
— Jim McDermott: “Don’t go down without a fight” [seattlepi]

![A “planning wiki” is taking shape to help us sort out a few key matters for the town hall/forum-type event next month. Hosted on Google Sites, it is viewable to the public, but users need to request access to edit the content.
If anyone knows a way around that, drop us a line.

Listserv #1 (the higher-traffic, organizational one) is now up and gaining members. Those who signed up for the low-traffic informational one can expect to be added early next week.
Julia Levitt at WorldChanging writes about the real cost of news, the changing media landscape, last night’s meetup, and the launch of No News is Bad News . org.
