February 28, 2009: Legendary radio announcer Paul Harvey died today at age 90. Jim Robinson, the president of ABC Radio Networks, issued this statement:

"Paul Harvey was one of the most gifted and beloved broadcasters in our nation’s history. As he delivered the news each day with his own unique style and commentary, his voice became a trusted friend in American households. His career in radio spanned more than seven decades, during which time countless millions of listeners were both informed and entertained by his “News & Comment” and “Rest of the Story” features. Even after the passing of his loving wife Angel in May 2008, Paul would not slip quietly into retirement as he continued to take the microphone and reach out to his audience. We will miss our dear friend tremendously and are grateful for the many years we were so fortunate to have known him. Our thoughts and prayers are now with his son Paul Jr. and the rest of the Harvey family."

February 10, 2009: During a speech accepting the Sol Taishoff Award for Excellence in Broadcast Journalism, given out at the National Press Foundation’s annual dinner, Charles Gibson said that people should pay for the news instead of getting it "free on the Internet:"

"I think we've made a terrible mistake giving our stuff away," Gibson said. "Why should someone pay 30 bucks a month for the New York Times when they can get it for free on the Internet? Why can't we stop the aggregators who rip off our work and distribute it for nothing? I don't know the answer to that, but I know there's got to be an answer. It probably will come after I'm gone, but I want it to come quickly."
