first, you founded the american journalism project. i read last week you raised about 42 million so far and you did that in six months. can you give an update on what that process has been like? >> it's been exhilarating, terrifying, any adjective you can think of depending on the day. the american journalism project is based on three interlocking beliefs that democracy and journalism are interdependent at the local level it is a public good the market left o to its on devices won't supply adequately. it's another way of say a market failure and third that market failure isn't something that our commerce or government is going to solve so it is a we the people problem. with regards to local news institutions, we have become fond of saying we are all owners house when we talk about a billion dollars a year, what we think of is infrastructure that isn't unlike public radio is about a billion dollar a year infrastructure. we've raised $42 million towards the ultimate target of $100 million to serve as a sort of force multiplier and cataly

in the 1970s and what is going on with american journalism and politics today. he or he. . . . hell did the american news media become the way it is for the way it was in the early 21st century. when and how did this happen. i have some ideas about it but i wanted to look at it in a more systematic way. so first i had to answer the question of what are the things first of all that make the news media distinctive. what about contemporary american journalism that is for the past 30 or 40 years what makes it different both from what came before in the u.s. and also from the way journalism is practiced elsewhere in the world and the conclusion that i arrived at is some of the key characteristics, and i devote a chapter to each of these some of the characteristics are that american journalism as we know it tends to interpret the news rather than just transmitting the bare facts and tends to take an adversarial approach to the powerful in its coverage and tends to be focused at least as much on entertaining the audience as informing it, and the aspect i want to focus o

that yellow journalism fomented the spanish-american war. that war was not caused by newspapers, it was not caused by william randolph hearst. it was not brought about by yellow journalism. this conflict was the result, as conflicts tend to be, of an impasse between the united states, spain, about spain's harsh colonial rule of cuba 90 miles from the u.s. mainland. and in particular, spain's inability to put down this insurrection, this rebellion that had given rise to spanish policies that created a humanitarian disaster in cuba. the humanitarian disaster that resulted from spain's re-concentration policy. the yellow press of william randolph hearst did not cause those policy differences between the united states and spain. the new york journal did not create the humanitarian crisis of re-concentration. spain did. so why does this matter? why does it matter now, 120-plus years later, to debunk this media myth? why not let it live on, and amusing tale of hubris and over weaning power? why does it matter? thoughts? comments? observations as to
