The American newspaper industry is in the middle of the most
momentous change in its entire three-hundred-year history. A
generation of relentless "corporatization" has resulted in a
furious, unprecedented blitz of buying, selling, and consolidation
of newspapers, accompanied by dramatic -- and drastic -- change in
reporting and coverage of all kinds. Concerned that this phenomenon
was going largely unreported, Gene Roberts, legendary reporter and
editor, decided to undertake a huge, extended reportorial study of
his own industry, what would become the Project on the State of the
American Newspaper. Gathering more than two dozen distinguished
journalists and writers, Roberts produced a long series of reports
in the American Journalism Review, published by the University of
Maryland's Philip Merrill College of Journalism, asking the crucial

so-called information explosion -- in danger of becoming less
informed than ever?
