Reply to comment by Gdott in Fit to Print (2017) - Documentary that tells the history of how Wall Street greed and lack of foresight lead to the decimation of the newspaper industry and tens of thousands reporters losing their jobs and the eventual erosion of a vital way to hold power accountable.

I don't have sympathy for Wall Street bankers but reporters/editors/etc. for local newspapers were solidly in the middle class. These were people covering city council meetings and baseball games and performing a real civic duty - keeping the locals informed

Very different from the people spewing nonsense and vitriol on cable news
