I do find that now on certain stories. There is no constraint to column inches like there is to any print medium where cost rises as presses have to print more pages. As for TV journalism, I see the merging ("see" as it's already happening) of the video space with the Internet space. The depth of a story might be in the textual coverage with a summary in the video or you can watch in-depth interviews and discussions a la Jim Lehrer. We have so many more ways to cover it all to the depth that we want. John Mullen – I don’t see any reason Internet journalism can’t provide deep coverage. I do find that now on certain stories.

I and others will be less informed citizens if we have only TV and the Internet for news and opinion.
