      38. The "paper of record" model is based on a readership demographic that is very old and, to be blunt, dying.

      39. Rather than shore up a model that is literally dying and sniff at Gawker, why not try to see these new experiments as offering a future?

      40. Further, even if "paper of record" model still viable, to make it work you gotta report news people actually want to read.

      41. Also, if you still want to be a "paper of record" maybe not have a star columnist who is a plagiarist & climate denialist.

      43. Postscript to the Houpt/Brown twitter essay: It's a fair point that Brown is a big enough figure that he deserves scrutiny & criticism.

      44. As mentioned I thought Houpt was right on Brown on Levant. I'm agnostic about criticism of Brown on Lang. We need more facts.

      45. So the point isn't, Brown shouldn't be criticized, but that such criticism shouldn't come from place of Legacy Media superiority.

      46. I hope @simonhoupt returns to the @JesseBrown file because there are real questions to ask about the crowd-source model of journalism

      47. I worry crowd-sourcing model will encourage demagoguery. Journalists gets funding by casting themselves as underdog fighting big boys

      48. And I don't know how sustainable crowd-sourcing is in long run. Although I suppose I.F. Stone was crowd-sourced for decades...

          49. And crowd-funding feels like begging ... but maybe I'm just getting old.

          50. Also question of scale: don't know if you can crowd-fund a newsroom, which is what you need for serious investigations.
