The Failed Estate

The Failed Estate is a website devoted to observations about journalism and the media by someone who spent most of his working life as a journalist. It began in 2009 as a series of posts on the now defunct collective blog Larvatus Prodeo.

This site is not intended to be a Media Watch-style "gotcha" enterprise in which the host skewers typos, malapropisms and barely disguised plagiarism. It’s more about the role of the media in a liberal democratic state and the pressures on the craft of journalism from the breakdown of established business models and the birth of new ones.
