I suppose the key, as with anything, is balance.
You can't have journalism without ad revenue. But you don't have journalism when your editorial starts to chase revenue.
Editorial has always seen itself as separate and aloof from ad sales... from what Shakran says, this is no longer the case. I would suggest that this is a direct result of the splintering of the mediascape that I mentioned above.
