Media — originally just print but now, by extension, all kinds — were deemed so important to the new country by our Founding Fathers that they wrote special protections into our first documents.

Now comes encouraging evidence that finally, after years of abusing their trust, the country’s information media are beginning to experience the most effective kind of pressure that American citizens can exert, through the marketplace.
Here are my brief thoughts on that hopeful new movement.
