This article from a Harvard Journalism prof, “Iran: News Happens, But Fewer Journalists Are There to Report It”, goes on to say, “In a time of global engagement—economic, political, environmental, energy and health, to name a few—budget cuts at news organizations severely limit foreign news coverage.”

The Daily Show really is out-doing traditional media. Fortunately Daily Show viewers, according to a Pew Research study, are the most knowledgable on current and international affairs.
