the real quality of journalism is the people. even though we are grass roots, always hanging by a thread, we never failed to be heard. i believe that the mayor of oakland said this, for one the government is pretty much run by large media corporations. when you are out there speaking the truth that they do not want to hear, just to make your media -- especially if you are pointing out your expos -- that you are exposed. we also believe that in media there should come education. the word minority is a derogatory term. believe it or not. thank you. >> we have a little bit of time left. i want to make sure all of the audience members are heard. >> my name is bruce grimes. i am an independent writer and producer of television, going back to "rolling stone." my question will relate to the comment about quality from dr. abraham. specifically about journalists today. 250 people, ranging in age between 25 and 35, pretty frightening. they were new media folks from a content perspective. what i came away with listening to them talk about t

how much do people in new york blame fox for the evils of bad journalism? >> i don't know the answer to the last part. are we healthier because of that? i say this. you and i are roughly the same age and we grew up in a different media world. there were two, maybe three national news magazines. there were three broadcast networks. walter cronkite became the most trusted man in america, who nightly told us what the news was and helped to shape that to a great extent. there were two national newspapers. "the new york times" was not national at that point. "the wall street journal." it was a very different world from today. there was no such thing as cable news. there are now five broadcast networks, depending how you count them. "usa today" did not exist in that mix. "newsweek," "u.s. news" are struggling and one of them may not exist in the long run. "life" magazine, the circulation in the billions no longer exists. there are many more voices today. i think that is healthy in many respects. the danger for any society is a view -- is if you don't have some cor

it was the most influential and then " if the wall street journal -- and then "the wall street journal." it was very different from today. there were five networks. "usa today" did not exist. "life" magazine and millions no longer exists. the media world is quite different. fair are many new voices. in many respects, i think that is healthy, but the danger for any society is if you do not have a core of shared facts and values, i think there is a great danger for the society, and i do worry about that. >> in a speech, the writer said hoyt defended the sources for a necessary evil, and i have some stuff. would you feel about anonymous sources? >> i would defend the use of anonymous sources in certain circumstances, and i think they are necessary. they are necessary -- for example, a couple years ago, a story revealed the bush administration's extralegal system of eavesdropping on american citizens, of electronic eavesdropping, and i know many people regarded that story as traitorous. i believe it was an important story and led to a lot of changes. that story could not have been written

we're not doing things the way i studied journalism. bloggers have a big influence. e video journalists are now rolling and most every station has them. what are your thoughts on the evolution of your former industry? >> i think the bar has been lowered. i think that when you have a professional journalist and professional cameraman or camerawoman going out to cover a story, it's better if they each focus on what they're doing versus what is happening now which is to send one person to do all duties and that's just not what brought television journalism or the journalism we knew in television, that's not what brought it to the pinnacle that it reached. so as someone who i think went through the best years of television journalism, the '70s, '80s and '90s. it's painful to watch. i'm able to watch it now because i'm retired. not that i'm home watching news but i am able to watch it if and when i want to. it's bothersome to see what is happening. i understand the reasons it's happening. i understand that it is economic. but when you lower the bar on something that is par
