New news and old news

A good piece by Mark Lawson about journalistic mea culpas that are presented as news. The point that the piece is heading towards, but refrains from spelling out, is that it's harder for TV news to get away with the unsubstantiated rabid screaming hysteria of the print press (though admittedly, the 24-hour channels are increasingly managing it).

It would seem that a lot of the comment is based on the Guardian. Perhaps one should try a proper newspaper?
