Interesting screed by Lileks today about the death of Newspapers.
What threatens newspapers is the medium itself. Its virtues are undeniable – it has dispatches from foreign lands, lost-pet ads, AND it mops up spills. It has ease of use, serendipity, tradition, a reputation assembled over the decades, a mix of high and low. That’s the problem: it’s all things to all people.
How perfect. I guess that's why I feel guilty when I turn down the local paper-boy trying to make a buck. After all, how the hell am I going to light my charcoal with CNN.com?
