What good is a newspaper these days? Well, according to the Providence Journal, it’s pretty much the only thing regular consumers have any more when it comes to the truth. As this new commercial for the paper informs, big companies have 597 lobbyists at the Rhode Island State House. Who does the average consumer have to represent them? A Providence Journal staff writer who, as the ad states, is all about providing and fighting for the truth.
Unavoidable biases aside, we like this approach. After all, the good ‘ol newspaper doesn’t have much to hang its hat on any more.
