Message: [QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 2961606, member: 9518"] Well said Morkel. I'm sure one of the younger members here can put that old hip hop clip up 'Don't believe the hype'. the print media is currently dying the death of a thousand cuts, primarily as a result of social media but in the curious mail's case it's partly due to poor journalism and mostly due to non-existent editorialship. If a newspaper wishes to prolong their existence they need to realise that the garbage they are printing can be (with aid of the web) fact checked in minutes. The faux outrage and drama they manufacture is subject to the law of ever diminishing returns. The ****wits are in a catch 22 of their own making. By rushing to embrace online advertising they effectively set in motion their own demise. As I said the only way to combat this is by printing well researched and fully informed articles to the public. In the Curious mail's case - don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. I guess it's a sad indictment of them having a monopoly on the whole of Queensland and still managing to **** it up. [/QUOTE]
