NEWSPAPERS

CJR: NYT is now making as much from circulation as from ads.

WaPo apologized in Saturday's paper for altering an RFK photo: "As many readers noticed, an image of Robert F. Kennedy on the front of the July 8 Style section was reversed, making it appear as though he parted his hair on the opposite side of how he normally wore it. This was an improper manipulation. The Post's policy is to use the technique only for photo illustrations clearly labeled as such." (h/t DCRTV)

TV

The Daily Beast brings us the 7 Best Moments from Sunday Talk.

Quote of the weekend: "As so often's the case in Washington, the debate comes down to a three-letter word ending in X... of course I'm talking about 'tax!'" -Mike Viqueira on MSNBC Saturday morning (h/t Mediaite).

NYT's Frank Rich on why and how Walter Cronkite was "the most trusted man in America."

And journalism in America after Walter Cronkite, Tim Russert and Peter Jennings, WaPo's Howard Kurtz in today's Media Notes: If there were still a most trusted man in America, in our cynical, irony-drenched, somebody-must-be-lying culture, it sure wouldn't be a journalist. Too many people find the media to be biased, inaccurate, sensational, simplistic or irrelevant for a Walter Cronkite figure to stride among us today.

AFP: Fifty-nine journalists have been killed around the world so far this year, in an alarming rise from 2008 that has become a "bloodbath" of the media, a watchdog said Thursday.
