I've written before about the death of newspapers, now I learn that Congress is holding hearings about the future of newspapers. Here's a little bit of the story from yesterday's Editor & Publisher:
Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.), Chair of the House Joint Economic Committee (JEC), will convene a hearing "to examine contraction in the newspaper industry, the economic impact of the changing media landscape, as well as the future of the industry at large," according to an announcement. The hearing, titled "The Future of Newspapers: The Impact on the Economy and Democracy," will take place Thursday, at 10:00 am in the Cannon House Office Building.There's a little more information available at the JEC web site.
