This interview from Estonian Public Broadcasting more or less makes the point about why many people, including myself, want out of the newspaper industry. It is rotten to the core and people don't enjoy their work anymore.
Don't get me wrong — I like writing and I think its a good job, but the way the industry is structured these days, you can't do much. No creativity, no good interesting stuff. It is all about speed over quality and cost reduction over thoroughness.
There are only a few good publications left. The Economist is one for example. Financial Times is also good. After that, well who knows...
This is a very good book for an insight into what you read every day.
