To me, that actually makes their moniker more truthful. I think they’ve been more focused on editing the actual NEWS we get, as opposed to editing how it’s presented, for too many years.
In response to this wonderful news, I wrote a short blog entry giving a birief history of the “National Microfilm Association” morphing through a series of name changes in response to changing technology.

Well, the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press are down to 3 days of paper. Don’t know how they’ll call it. Some of us will really miss having paper in our hands, so I hope they don’t get rid of paper–which is the reason for the “newspaper” change. What would I do without the Sunday NYTimes–in paper?

Google library rather than Balliol
Yamaha rather than Steinway

While we’re at it, NAA could stay NAA and lose the paper.
I suggested this back at a NAA conference in 1999 or so and was *this* close to being burned at the stake.
