Another Day
I'm so proud. I'm smarter than Miss America.
Does it make me callous that I'd like people to compare the design/interface of different major media news websites' "Special Coverage" pages? ABCNews.com | CBSNews.com | MSNBC.com | CNN.com | NYTimes.com | WashingtonPost.com | BBC.co.uk. (Here's mine, but frankly it's feeble by comparison.)
A while ago, I used radio to make a point about why free internet content would survive. I made a passing reference to alt-weeklies lending more proof to my theory. OJR has penned the article basically summarizing the points I never got around to making.
The stories you can be thankful you missed. Condit? Yates? Poundstone? Who?

To Howard Zinn: "What would you do if you were president?" The answer.
