For example, a New York Times story about news weeklies could be cast as more bad news -- they're slimming down with less news and more commentary and advertising is fleeing. But let's look at the issue from the future tense -- news weeklies may evolve into a medium where we serious news fans (and polls show that's most of us) can put that Internet news into perspective. I say may because no one knows what model the publishers will embrace. But, as a news consumer, I morn the loss of newspapers and serious magazines for their perspective more than their reporting since I can get that from the Internet, at least as long as there are content providers for the news aggregators to raid.
Let's hope they evolve in constructive ways.
