what next for the press?

Recommended reading: In the wake of the 2004 campaign, Jay Rosen considers the potential for an opposition press:

Bush and the Republicans are to remain in office another four years? Will we find instead that an intimidation factor, already apparent before the election, will intensify as a result of Bush's victory?

Jay's Press Think is a consistently insightful and challenging read. Bring your brain.
