- «[U.S. managing editor of the «Financial Times» Chrystia] Freeland called the news industry the ‹white-collar equivalent of Detroit auto workers,› as journalists fear job loss, and editors must deal with cutting staff. However, she said that the difficulties surrounding the economic crisis ‹shouldn't be the driver and shaper of the solutions that we have, and the shaper of what we think will be the journalism that we can continue to produce in the future.› Instead, she argued that the ‹end of the oversupply of journalism … might actually be a good thing› and as fewer news organizations compete, there are greater opportunities and ‹pricing power› for the ones that remain.»
