To me this presents a real tragedy in the sense that journalism is a central part of democracy. And if it can't be funded because of these business problems, then that's a real loss in terms of voices and diversity. And I don't think bloggers make up the difference. The historic model of investigative journalists in any industry is something that is very fundamental. So the question is, what can you do about this? And a fair statement is, we're still looking for the right answer.

Dirt cheap compared to my Matrox device, but won't support the dual 20" screens across 3200 x 1200.

"Financial workers: This one's almost a no-brainer. Day traders or people who work in finance can never get enough screen acreage. Virtual desktops don't cut it either: the time it takes to switch from one virtual desktop to the other is an eon compared to the millisecond it takes to simply look from one screen to the next." I could probably trade with just one, but having 3 screens makes me a lot more productive in every day activities way beyond just trading. via Kedrosky

“When emotions interfere with performance, you’ll often find evidence of inadequate training." This can probably be said about many of the problems afflicting trader's performance. How many traders out there are adequately trained?

Good show. One interesting tidbit: The market is considering the UK government's issued debt as more risky and more likely to be defaulted on than that of McDonalds. Probably one of the reasons why the pound is shrinking dramatically.

With regard to the newspaper crisis we can be hardly surprised. Classical journalism as we know it, is dead. In the US it is not a voice of diversity or objectivity. The news media are totally corrupt and people are looking for an alternative that will serve as a watchdog of a democratic society and not as a tool of the government. The newspapers here have become a monolithic brainwashing device to serve their own agenda. Hence the move towards other opinions on the blogs and the web itself. The journalists in the major media are writing for themselves and not for the people. As you have said, the investigative journalism is a fundamental necessity. A necessity to safeguard the principles of the Constitution and freedom. In this country it ceased to exist.
Sounds like you’re saying that traditional media will just continue to lose credibility with the public and hence ad monetizing tricks aren’t going to help it. I can think of all kinds of issues with this void in the place of once democratic investigative and socially responsible media.
