America's newspaper publishers - as hidebound a collection of businesspeople as you can find - are thrashing about to see whether they can separate the news from the paper and still make money.

Maybe you can try separating the pure liberal bias from the actual reporting and folks will read you again.

Svrluga detoured to Starbucks, wrote a 572-word commentary on his laptop and posted it to his blog, Nationals Journal at washingtonpost.com. After his haircut he swung by the Post's newsroom to do a live question-and-answer session online with fans. That night, after filing a story for the newspaper, which he calls the "$0.35 edition" in his blog, Svrluga recorded a ten-minute podcast for the Web site, with sound bites from team officials and players.

I didn't see anywhere where an editor was inserted into the process to prevent falsehoods or just plain bad journalism. (like it's good now...)

"If circulation is dropping," Svrluga explains, "and we're trying to figure out how people are going to get their news, who am I to say no to trying out new avenues?"

It's the FR stooooopid! Byeeee!

No one, including the Graham family or the New York Times, has figured out how to match the ad revenue of the print edition with an internet edition. I think the big city papers will survive on the internet but they will lose much of the influence they had in print. And they will have to compete with many young entrepreneurs would couldn’t afford the huge operating costs of a traditional newspaper but can afford to create an internet news and advertising organization. In fact these new guys are already in business in many U.S. cities.

In fairness, and honesty, the Post has the best Web site of any newspaper in the country. It’s well done, constantly updated, the chats with reporters, editors and the odd celeb are great, the “blogs” well done (mostly) and the comments sections are largely unedited for any political content.

They’ll find a way to make money with it, because they’re innovative and have a quality product. I can’t think of any other MSM outlet that’s close to them on the Web.

Great! Earlier today it was the NY Times and now the same symtoms and disease diagnosis for the Washed-up Post.
Let’s hope in becomes a horse race to the grave yard...the Times, Post, L.A. Times and all the usual suspects that have tried to hijack this country’s future
