Bill,

You raise an important parallel with TV, which as you say opted to focus on spot, lifestyle and entertainment news. That is one of my worries because I do see a trend among many newspapers of going shallow and fluffy. It squanders the value of immediacy, and, in the end, it won’t work long term.

Good point.

Newspapers are and will always be a great resource. And, now the web gives all that print talent something they never had before -- immediacy. Hopefully newspapers won't squander the gift of being immediate as television did opting to focus on spot, lifestyle and entertainment news. Go after the enterprise! Offer me opposing and new ideas...I want intelligent, ethical and compelling coverage. And if delivered, I would pay for it.
