That is an interesting article. I can't see newspapers as reporting entities going away entirely, particularly the biggies like NYTimes & WS Journal, myself, even if they end their print editions. But we'll see!

Mostly I just wanted to comment on how bizarre the Comments section on that blog is. It doesn't seem to be actual comments, but exerpts from other blogs reacting to the post.

The NY Time sis actually in n ot that good shape right now. They are in such dire straights that a Mexican investor had to buy a major share int he paper to keep it going.

Damn shame he did, that paper has been pretty sick for awhile, just let it die already.
