This graphic cover from a 1945 Dell crime novel showing an editor on a spike seems to sum up the plight of many journalists in 2008 and no doubt in 2009.
Whodunnit? Was it the internet, the decline in readers, structural changes, the managing director or one of the big publishing groups?
I am a freelance journalist based in the UK and was deputy editor of Press Gazette, the journalists' magazine, from 1993 until 2006. I want to give an independent view on media matters.
