On one end of the spectrum there are people like Jeff Jarvis, whom the New York Times columnist David Carr rightly calls a “digital scold.”  Jarvis is a smart guy who routinely goes over the top in lumping all newspaper management as Luddites who cling to the silly notion that users of their content should have to pay for some of it.  Maybe paid newspaper content is over, but Jarvis’s self-righteousness in utterly dismissing anyone who doesn’t buy into his utopian visions of the emerging news “ecosystem” is tiresome.  I’d rather read PaidContent’s Lauren Rich Fine’s sensible lower-key criticisms of micropayments and Journalism Online, the new venture of Steven Brill, Gordon Crovitz and Leo Hindery.
