    Waldman: From 2005-2009, online newspaper traffic doubled, but ad revenues way down. "Print dollars replaced by digital pennies." #FCCFoM

    Waldman: So, what's happening in newsrooms? "A really distressing set of numbers," back to pre-Watergate newsroom staffing. #FCCFoM

    Waldman: "Hamsterization" of news (see CJR article: http://bit.ly/d7jD2M) is up, running reporters ragged. #FCCFoM

    Waldman: OK, so how to get at impact of changes? Reporters talking about stories they can't report, taxpayer losses resulting. #FCCFoM

    RT @mattfwood: local TV news today is more productive, and more hours?? Okay, but are more car crashes and weather reports enough? #fccfom

    Waldman: about 1/3 of the stations do NO local news. Not clear if this is a bad thing but notable for FCC. #FCCFoM
