Most major American newspapers are scoring a painful trifecta: losing readers, waving goodbye to advertisers, and firing journalists. Why is this happening?

Sure, the internet is a big problem. But I can mention two other re

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

It’s clear that the editors of many papers are more in love with a personal political agenda than with a bottom line. Admirable? Not if you, like me, wish to have a

Here’s the truly odd part about all this. Anybody smart en

Some of these big pa

Combination pro

My local paper (in Norfolk, Va.) recently covered tornados in Florida with big headlines and lots of text. Last summer, a heat wave got similarly

But the suicide-prone media won’t give this information because it might cause readers to doubt the endless sermons about global warming.

A second reason for the newspapers’ decline is that the liberal media unthinkingly support the education establishment, on the mistaken assumption that this group represents some sort of progres

Following aspects would a

There is in fact no necessary link between the politics of our education establishment and anyone’s progressive values. This is a deception that unthinking liberals fall for. Antonio Gramsci, a real Com

link is the one between the media’s support of intellectually flabby educators and the continuing decline of the media themselves. Why don’t they see it: the schools are killing off their customer base!

Last year my local paper ran three sto

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

Experts say this country has more than 40

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

How to save the newspapers? First, they have to start believing in Truth and reporting the truth. Banish political correctness when it conflicts with factual correctness. Second, realize that education, as it’s often practice

Companies that provide selfless information through particip
