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:
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
