Its been a running topic in the media over the last decade: the print dinosaurs are dying. More people are getting their news online than ever before and the convenience of being constantly up to date is what consumers want in this instant gratification obsessed, 24-hour news cycle, 21st century America. But I think theres really more to it than that.
People have move to online formats not only because its faster and more convenient, but because the straight-forward and hard-hitting content is found here, while a lot of traditional media has become watered down, timid, and worst of all, written with feigned objectivity.
People want to know what is really going on and they also want public “servants” to be held accountable. Two things the traditional media has been lacking lately, and their declining circulation has been a direct effect. But does one New Jersey paper finally get it?
The Star Ledger, the biggest paper in North Jersey, ran a story yesterday by Jarrett Renshaw that got to the heart of what journalism should be. His piece, NJ Politicians Preserve Own Retirement Packages While Limiting New Workers, is a great piece of work that lays out the disgusting practice of banking hundreds of thousands of dollars in “paid sick” time and sticking the taxpayers with the bill upon retirement. According to the article, just 15 long time lawmakers in New Jersey, 14 Democrats and 1 Republican, currently have over $850,000 in time they could cash in at any moment. Senator Sacco lays claim to over $330,000 of that $850,000, and he make zero apologies for it!
I have been in education for 43 years with a nearly perfect attendance record,” said Sacco, who also has been North Bergen mayor since 1991. “Is that fair to people? Maybe not, but that is the contract that existed.”
Despicable. But what is not despicable is that the Star Ledger is bringing this issue to the forefront in such a clear way that pulls no punches. The names and numbers are all out there for people to see. I would recommend that everyone head over to NJ.com and read the piece, and while you are at it go back and read Matt Friedman’s piece on PAC spending in New Jersey from last month. Maybe the Star Ledger can save itself yet. They seemed to have finally figured out that they way to save journalism is to behave like a journalist. Its what the people want, and everyone, except for maybe Senator Sacco, would benefit from more of this.
