http://www.statesman.com/opinion/content/editorial/stories/03/2newton_edit.html
Click to the link above to read a new essay by Eric Newton of the John S.
and James L. Knight Foundation. He just finished up as a judge of the
Scripps-Howard Foundation's National Journalism Awards and ticks off a
slew of wonderful examples of "watchdog journalism" that produced positive
change -- examples that show journalism continues to work.
