Columbia Journalism Review
The paper has been reinvented time and again throughout its long history, notes Michael Shapiro in his CJR cover story. Recent downsizing has forced editor Amanda Bennett to try to reinvent the paper once again. "This attempt, however, would be carried out in an altogether more difficult time for the American newspaper. It was as if a dark cloud had descended over the news business, a mood exacerbated by the journalistic inclination to see the worst in things."
