...real problem facing American journalism: 2008 might have been a bad year for the journalism biz, but if nothing else, it demonstrated what media critics have suspected for years: "It is now all but settled that advertising revenue - the model that financed journalism for the last century - will be inadequate to do so in this one." It's not an audience or credibility problem that confronts today's media, but the "decoupling" of advertising from news. Trends to watch in 2009, it goes on, include desperate and misguided attempts at bankrolling the news industry, including the idea of micro-payments...
...leaves little to no money for video production—it’s possible that the entire thing was recorded on a Handycam. A raucous piano riff kicks off a dull workday, narrated through the eyes of Cam’ron’s girlfriend with an almost Biz Markie-esque realism. The flashy whips and mansions have been traded for a mid-size sedan and cubicle, and with mounting bills to pay, “things are getting hectic.” Reclining in a canvas butterfly chair on a weedy hillside, Cam’ron knowingly details...
...Indeed, a Liza Minnelli concert is never about musicality so much as it is about the psychodrama of watching show biz's most famous high-wire act try to make it to curtain call without a visit from the EMS unit.

Though this is one of the dotcom biz's oldest clichs, the company's 6-ft. 5-in. new CEO really does use the cramped space--filled with eBay trinkets and pictures of his wife (an Obama campaign fundraiser) and four children (all basketball players and eBay users)--as his primary office. That visibility and openness has earned Donahoe, brought in by Meg Whitman from Bain & Co. three years ago and promoted to replace her in March, respect from employees and customers alike...
...Fighting for Nonviolence To the rest of the world, Li's show-biz sabbatical may appear abrupt, but to his countrymen he is reprising the major themes of his life - self-sacrifice, service and discipline. At the age of 8, Li was randomly enrolled in a wushu class during a summer sports program. He had no idea what wushu was, which isn't surprising. At that time, wushu was only 13 years old. It was a committee-ordained synthesis of the various age-old Chinese combat forms (wushu literally means "martial arts"), intended to create a new codified sport. Emphasis...
