Coverage doesn't equal insight

Juan Antonio Giner calls this "commodity non-journalism": newspaper front page after front page, all carrying the same photo and strikingly similar, unfulfilling headlines trying to cover the scary crises in high finance.

I agree. Few in American journalism take on the challenge of explaining a story this severe and complex in terms that would be truly useful to everyday people that don't happen to be economists.

Exceptions? Yeah. One or two. But none are evident in Juan Antonio's gallery of so-so-ness.
