Carr quotes Schmidt on p2. but he expressed the stronger sentiment on Oct 1, to Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land. "Well-funded, targeted professionally managed investigative journalism is a necessary precondition in my view to a functioning democracy. And so that’s what we worry about.

But there was enough revenue that it allowed the newspaper to fulfill its mission." Amen!
