The Chronicle‘s Mike Tolson writes that media interest in the Enron trial is already starting to fade:
It’s a far cry from the early days, when news organizations tried to outdo each other with tales of corporate excess, outlandish accounting and sudden joblessness. Today, with pretty much everything having been said, Enron has slipped into the realm of oxymoron: old news.
Not even the “much-ballyhooed blogosphere” has been saying all that much, according to Tolson, who does acknowledge the occasional mentions on local blogs and includes a quote from Slampo.
At least one world media outlet is staying interested for one more week, according to KHOU-11:
Nasser Hssaini is a Washington-based correspondent for Al-Jazeera, the network known mainly for being the initial source for virtually all communication from Osama bin Laden.
“It is very interesting to see a very powerful man, close to this president in his second term, is facing justice,” Hssaini said. “Facing the system in the United States, how justice is unfolding.”
Al-Jazeera will be in Houston through the week.
