- Death By Month: Tracking the Newspaper Industry’s Decline. Henry Blodget has started an online, accessible spreadsheet to track the declining fortunes of the newspaper industry. What a great use of the technology to keep track of a continually developing story.
- Three quick ideas from television, for newspapers. Newspaper publishers have been long chortling about getting to the ‘net away ahead of TV. Don’t look now, they’re catching up by playing to their strengths.
