May be wishful thinking on Jack's part. I hope not. He has certainly identified some fine-- and traditional -- Journal pieces. But I'm speculating that perhaps they stand out because, as Jack notes, the primary season is over, and there have been no devastating earthquakes or cyclones for a few weeks, and the presidential campaign is still on simmer. Because in the midst of these fine articles was the front page last Wednesday, as Obama wrapped up the Democrat's nomination. It struck me immediately as I picked up the Journal and the Boston Globe from the driveway. You can see the Journal's descending into me-too journalism that day at my Rebuilding Media Blog. In my analysis, every day the Journal wastes newsprint with such headlines, photos and copy is a day lost to do the type of journalism Jack is rightly trumpeting.
