This might be the final nail in the coffin for the press corpse. MAIN PRESS PLANS ANOTHER WEEK OF CHENEY SHOOTING COVERAGE Sun Feb 19 2006 10:57:36 ET If the nation's top magazine have the pulse of the country -- get ready for another exhaustive week of exhaustive Cheney shooting coverage. This just in! Both TIME and NEWSWEEK are planning covers of Cheney for high impact on newsstands Monday, with each magazine rolling out top staff bylines and thousands of words on the hunting incident: TIME: With deep reporting by John Cloud, Mike Allen and Matthew Cooper/ Washington, Cathy Booth Thomas and Patricia Kilday Hart/ Austin, and Hilary Hylton. NEWSWEEK brings in the big investigative guns: Evan Thomas, Michael Isikoff, Daniel Klaidman, Richard Wolffe, Holly Bailey, Mark Hosenball and Eleanor Clift in Washington and Carol Rust in Texas. NEWSWEEK's Jonathan Alter essays that media budget cuts and shifting news priorities have contributed to the public being in the dark about Cheney's ways and means. The magazine's editor Mark Whitaker defends his decision to push for another week of Cheney-Shooting coverage: "The reason we ultimately decided to stick with a cover is not because of the hunting incident itself-although we did turn up some new details that you might not have read elsewhere-but because of what it says about the mysterious world of the most powerful vice president of recent times." ...Or what it says about the timing and state of print publications in the slick click age of information and news cycles. drudgereport.com
