gotta love america - that part in the article about the wonderful benefits of bankruptcy allowing a very wealthy woman to "reorganize" - smoke speak for weaseling out on your debts. 

As to the comment from JM771 about there being "no easy answers" as to what ails journalism - may I suggest that one answer lies in this comment section: If you like what the ADN writes - you think its a good paper. 

In the distant past it wasn't so much about like or dislike - it was more about correct or incorrect reporting - and the small amount of opinion writing was largely tailored to support a point of view instead of tearing down the views of others. In my opinion the real failure of the Rogoff Regime - was a failure to understand the potential power of a newspaper to unite people. She chose instead to inflame a large swath of Alaska on a daily basis with her prerogatives about who got to write and how they wrote.
