The Thompson Manifesto: A Sequel
As a follow-up to his original dissertation on the challenges facing CNN, Mark Thompson recently outlined a vague, pablum-filled vision of the network-cum-news-organization’s future. But is it so opaque because Thompson’s vision remains hazy, or because he doesn’t want to say the hard part out loud?
