MediaGuardian.co.uk | Press&publishing | Journalists' self-righteous arrogance has gone too far

This is one of the best media articles I've read for a very long time; in fact, it could be the best article ever published in a newspaper that I've ever read. Contrary to what you might think, I'm not talking about this posting [but only because it isn't being published in a newspaper], but rather the article that can be accessed by clicking on the link below... well, actually, you have to register for free first, so just make up some answers. MediaGuardian.co.uk | Press&publishing | Journalists' self-righteous arrogance has gone too far I've shared the opinion of the writer about this subject for at least 18months now, and I commend him for looking beyond his own self-interest to that of the public interest (although of course you could argue, correctly in my opinion, that anything he does is in his self-interest, but you know how I meant it, so take it that way). The problem is that the unions represented the opinions of a far smaller number of people, and their transgressions were (for now) rather more egregious. I don't think too much legislation needs to be written concerning the press, if only because of the dangers of censorship and other emergent properties of unaccountable government that could arise. Rather, I think the UK news media, especially the daily press, should really consider whether their current attitudes are bad for them in the long term, and if so change them for the better. In my humble opinion, the newspapers have lost much of the trust of the public, which is one reason why newspaper sales are in terminal decline. For their own sakes', journalistic and editorial ethics need to be improved forthwith.
