Jay Rosen and James Fallows discuss the evolution of news media over the last 20 years, or so, focusing on changing narratives on the balance between security and liberty and 4th Amendment protections raised by the Transportation Security Admin (TSA) airport practices; WikiLeaks and the failure of the watchdog press; and 'village' thinking and the effects of 'conventional wisdom.'
Both wrote prescient books: respectively, What are Journalists For? and Breaking the News
