Communication giants aren’t stupid; they know where demographics are going
Here are some scenes from the ethnic media that struggle to remain the authentic voice of our community: An overworked editor tries to cajole a freelancer, not to get his/her work in on deadline, but to do the story for less than a dime a word. A greenhorn reporter tries to make sense of a complicated story, and gets lost in the details. A salesperson tries to convince another restaurant to pay cash for an ad instead of bartering for meals.
It’s the mom and pop world of our major ethnic media.
