Will the end mean the end of expensive investigative stories?: This article reviews the cost of dig deep journalism like the article soon to come out in the NYT on the euthanization of patients during Hurricane Katrina. Clara Jeffery (of MoJo) makes the case that this sort of story will have to die when "institutional reporting" (i.e., corporate media) dies. An odd place to find defense of behemoths like the New York Times, but pretty compelling. Her tally: $400,000 for this 2-year cover story--a price tag that "bloggers and commenters and citizen journalists can’t take on."
