Pro Publica ... picking up the slack?

Former Journal Wall Street Journal managing editor Paul Steiger reviews four decades of the publishing business. Next week he will become president and editor-in-chief of a nonprofit called Pro Publica, which seeks to make up for some of the loss in investigative-reporting resources caused by the “collapse of metro newspapers' business model,” Steiger said. Back in the mid-60s and onward, newspapers were “fearless in pursuing corruption.” No more.
