The State of the Media annual report is an excellent barometer of what's going on in all branches of the news business. 2006 in a nutshell:

>More outlets are covering fewer stories
>Big-city metro papers are most threatened
>The battle between idealists and accountants is over; the accountants won
>Traditional media are finally becoming technologically innovative; but the big question is how long it will take online journalism to become a major economic engine

This is one report I try to scan annually.
