I found this essay very interesting, though my opinion may be very biased in some senses. i thought it was interesting how NPR was sort of just thrown out there as a great journalism source. The reason I say this may be biased is that I love the radio. i had a job where I could listen to music all day, which got very old; so I switched to the radio. After working 9 hour days listening to the radio, you really know what is happening around the world. the one thing that I am curious about is how other forms of media may feel about this, such as newspapers, the Internet, television, etc.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not sitting in a rocking chair, smoking a pipe and reading the paper when I wake up in the morning. I like to enjoy my coffee and watch the news in the morning. But for my long drives to visit parents and friends, an IPod just doesn't quite cut it. I feel that the radio could be, more or less "coming back" in regards to convenience. Though i only listen to KNX 1070, i think this chapter shed some light that i need to broaden my horizons just a little bit.
