On...The Decline and Fall of ...Newsweek?

Since I posted the article from Newsweek about the Decline and Fall of Christianity I thought I'd post another one of the counter articles.

The only moderate fear about all this "change" is that real fact-finding journalism will be totally displaced by editorialization and infotainment to a huge degree. Though I'm sure there will be a counterbalance somewhere as long as our markets and press are free from groupthink and censorship.

Mainstream Essays

Time and Newsweek in the past few weeks have had large essays regarding two relevant issues. From Time we get author/journalist Kurt Anderson on The End of Excess and from Newsweek we get historian Jon Meacham on The End of Christian America. I believe both titles are a little misleading, but each have plenty to chew over--some good, some off-the-mark a bit, and some great for debate.

Many of you may find them interesting. If I get time I would like to revisit them in length.
