As mentioned before, we appreciate the focus on current Fourth Estate issues that the editorial staff of the Seattle Times has been bringing to its readers in the midst of wholesale change in the media business. It goes beyond just the concern over the purveyance of 'good' news.
This editorial reflects on an issue of growing concern - the free and full access to use of the internet, and the powers who seek to move in a totally different direction. It also reminds that there are examples aplenty of abuse of power and position among the corporate marketplace leaders, as well as politicos.
It's called "Internet in jeopardy as neutrality erodes", and appeared on the Opinion page (B8) of the Wednesday edition, March 5, 2008. To dig further, follow the paper's series, "The Democracy Papers", with commentary over the past year on the media industry.
