Tim Porter's First Draft seeks to investigate the current state of newspaper journalism, or, as the weblog subtitle states, the weblog is concerned with "Newspapering, Readership & Relevance." Below is aan excerpt and link to his "The Quality Manifesto" which can be found at his weblog:
"Newspapers are killing themselves with clichéd writing, formulaic stories, hackneyed photographs and adherence to a self-destructive, journalistic form that emphasizes breadth of news coverage over depth. To break this cycle, newsrooms must recreate an atmosphere of excellence that counters the pervasive belief that 'good enough' is good enough. It is not."
