The Connecticut Mirror is one example of a new form of nonprofit (tax exempt) news site that has emerged throughout the country over the last decade in locations where traditional for-profit print newspapers have failed or are failing because they cannot sell enough advertising to stay in business.   The numbers are significant. I am an enthusiastic supporter of these news organizations, and you should be, too.

Everything needs a limiting principle to protect it from excess, to keep it from transitioning from positive to negative and doing more harm than good.
