I, Lamont (Free subscription) | yesterday
It's a tough time to be a journalist, but at the same time I see some reasons to be optimistic. I thought I would share some of my thoughts about what's going on, and offer some insights into where the news industry is headed.

The story, as reported by our buddy Daniel Brusilovsky over at Crunchgear , goes like this: A company called The Little App Factory got a letter from Apple, who had a legal issue with one of their apps, formerly...
