Jason Wilson

This is really worth a read - if you are interested in the state of our media.

And this is what I said by way of comment.

Great article Jason - and it serves to expose the self-serving nature of the drones at "The Australian".

But the thing is that no-one cares anymore. Newspapers are dying and the people who used to be called journalists are cacking themselves as they try to stay alive past another edition.

The thing that tickles me is that folks like Jay Rosen are plastering the Twitternet with succinct one liners about "The Australian" and it's dubious staffers and their stories.

It's hilarious - and a case study in how to trash your credibility in about 15 minutes.

Someone in the Murdoch family or even News Corporation must have a Twitter account and surely they have noticed that the "OZ flagship" is in serious need of some new high quality leadership.

But really - "who cares"?
