Black Ink Monday

"Since Ben Franklin and colonial times, the editorial cartoon has been one of the most visible and popular parts of the daily paper. However, recent changes within the newspaper industry have placed this American institution at risk."

Monday was Black Ink Monday, organized by The American Association of Editorial Cartoonists to highlight the cuts being made in editorial cartooning in newspapers across the country.

I wish I had a union to protect. Bottom line is that newspapers are a horse and buggy business. News is a commodity and commentary on the news is even worse (aka anyone with a blog). These guys need a new business model if they want to get paid.
