Missing the point, again.

A Google executive posts a long, often thoughtful, comment on news in the new era. Sure he falls into the trap so many new media folks do of deciding that just because Google can do something (like choose my news based on past views) it should do something (like show me more of the same).  This comes just before he so correctly indicates that one reason newspapers have done well over the years because "browsing a newspaper is rewarding and serendipitous." Frankly, one of the problems of today's newspapers, I believe, is too much "old news" that I already know.  Sure, Jonathan Rosenberg was suggesting that the news sites offer "only updates and new material," but it's still the same old stories.
