  • New San Diego Union-Tribune boss former radio exec John Lynch is committed to print for at least a decade. His editorial mission, in part, is “to be a cheerleader for all that’s good about San Diego,” Lynch tells the paper. “It’s news information, but it’s also show biz. … You get people to tune in and read your site or the paper when there’s an ‘Oh wow’ in the paper.” (Voice of San Diego)
  • A New York Times editorial supports C-SPAN’s call for cameras in the Supreme Court during its hearings on the health care law. (The New York Times)
  • ABC’s Christiane Amanpour accepted the 2011 Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism at Arizona State University on Thursday. Speaking with students just before the ceremony, she said, “I feel like I’m a warrior for international news in the U.S.” (ASU)
