Stop the presses!

"Business Journalists Face Critical Issues"
--Marketwatch, April 29, 2005

Typical quotation from the above:

"I've always felt that a good business journalist must be a good journalist, first and foremost." [somebody] said. "That's the foundation. Beyond that, it helps a business journalist to have some working knowledge of commerce, finance and economics."

Typical commentary from the above:

I hope the [journalism society] members remind one another that that these are especially trying times for the entire journalism profession -- and the conference attendees must seize the day.

No kidding? Thank you, Marketwatch! Dow Jones must really be glad it bought you.
