The old crusty reporter is not appearing any more

[video:youtube:E7Zj_dNwOdk] Now, here’s a really tough assignment for a group of journalists. Go find some bars full of journalists and report on them… The Wall Street Journal goes coast to coast across the United States and over to Fleet Street in London to look at some famed journalist drinking dens and how things have changed with the decline in newspaper sales and the rise of digital media,

That style of going down to the bar and meeting your contact at the bar, smoking cigarettes and probably getting them a little bit juiced up so you can get a better story out of them and more details has all changed. Maybe the Internet has something to do with it… Certainly the old crusty reporter… is not appearing any more.link
