Media Coverage
In February 2008, Voice of San Diego was profiled for Christian Science Monitor. The article called Voice of San Diego's coverage "earnest and serious," "a ray of hope for a troubled industry," and characterized it as taking "on the powerful with the panache of a scrappy big-city paper." The writer, Randy Dotinga, is now a contributor at Voice of San Diego.
In November 2008, New York Times media writer Richard Pérez-Peña profiled Voice of San Diego and more generally, the nonprofit journalism model. In the article, Pérez-Peña characterized news organizations like Voice of San Diego as "A new kind of Web-based news operation...offering a brand of serious, original reporting by professional journalists...Their news coverage and hard-digging investigative reporting stand out in an Internet landscape long dominated by partisan commentary, gossip, vitriol and citizen journalism posted by unpaid amateurs."

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
