		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a fun game. Watch tonight&#8217;s TV news (either channel) and count the following tropes.

		<description><![CDATA[When I was in NZ in February-March, after a year away from the country, I was alarmed by the deterioration of what passed for news in the MSM. This was a continuation of a long-term trend that I have called the &#8220;Australianisation&#8221; of NZ news coverage, something that Lew and I talked about when we [...]]]></description>

As a caution to those who would conflate &#8216;newspapers are dying&#8217; with &#8216;the media is dying&#8217;, I would suggest that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Getting what you deserve&#8221; by Nick Smith in today&#8217;s Independent (which isn&#8217;t, it&#8217;s Fairfax-owned) is a good read about the future of the media. In beautiful irony, it doesn&#8217;t seem to be online, so I&#8217;ll excerpt it here:
