One reporter for another august business section just said to the reporters for another that they were probably all here checking out the competition. But there are also 10 TV cameras in the back.

If they can do both print and online they make more profit. When print falters so does revenue. It is likely that print newspapers are doomed, but most pubishers lack the vision to move assets online because they're terrified that this new reality will undecut their bottom line. While it's to early to call this a death rattle, it surely is one of the spasms the precedes the end. No publisher wants to lose the $$ that print ads bring in.

I "borrowed" it to read about an Iranian "terrorist" group some folks in DC are all friendly with. (Guess we don't negotiate with terrorists except for when we do.) But the WSJ was so overstuffed that I just tossed it, and have yet to go back and read the online version. Is this typical of how paper news products are handled nowadays? Hope those Iranians who wish to overthrow the (Iranian) government aren't relying on folks like me for support. Middle America soccer moms are just way too busy with their kids to read paper products of any size very quickly.
