Boston Globe
"I was definitely shocked to hear about the Globe," says Ben Affleck. "I fundamentally misunderstood what was going on. Boston.com has 5.6 million readers a month, and yet this hugely successful news gathering operation is going out of business." Affleck, who appears in the newspaper film "State of Play," adds: "Part of the erosion of newspapers is about new media, but part of it is newspapers' own fault. I think the public has felt let down by The New York Times and others for not asking the tough questions, whether about the Iraq war or the subprime issue."
