National Coverage

[Guillermo Verdecchia]

I think the people at the Post and G&M will tell you -- the former
publisher of the Globe said so a few years ago -- that their job is to
deliver an audience ( a readership) to advertisers. Their job is not to
cover the "news",  afflict the comfortable or comfort the afflicted, least
of all is it to provide arts criticism. No, their job is to sell
advertising. 

Gaetan's experience appears to demonstrate that there was a time when
newspapers had other goals or philosophies. In these lean and mean times,
newspapers can no longer afford such altruism.
