You're probably right in that I take it too far. My point was that print business journalism may not ever rebound to the glossy stories and front page exposés that we have associated with the craft in the past. However, as you note that may not be a bad thing. I agree that if these stories take center stage on the general news pages, we'll be better off. Brian – Thanks for the comment.

I think business journalism is changing, not dying. It may be the end of general business pubs such as Fortune and Business Week -- at least in the format they've existed in to now -- but the evidence of business focused stories is all over the place. It's just that, with the economic high jinks of the past few years, you find them more on the general news pages, and online in general news coverage. Business issues are becoming central to many of the big stories of the day, and I don't begrudge that. It's what should have been happening decades ago. But tradition dictated they be kept to the business pages, or to the business mags. Hopefully, journalists getting into the business will be taught business oriented skills along with the more general skills they need to do the job. That's what they'll need for the future, I think you are being way too pessimistic here. I think business journalism is changing, not dying.
