Some are the rantings of deranged extremists. But some—like Muckety, an American site which enriches news stories with interactive maps of the protagonists’ networks of influence, and NightJack, the revealing and depressing blog of an anonymous British policeman, which won the Orwell prize last month—enhance society’s understanding of itself, and cou...

The Independent and the London Evening Standard depend on the largesse of foreign investors. The strain is not confined to English-speaking countries: French newspapers have avoided the same fate only by securing an increase in ... (more)

Don't give up on newspapers just yet. Their transition from ink on paper to publishing online has begun to produce some interesting hybrids. Out of all this experimentation, natural selection could produce some winners. We should care because newspaper journalism has been a major factor in keeping our politicians honest and our democracy working. The Internet is great at moving information cheaply and swiftly, but we still need to figure out how to pay someone who is trusted and smart to originate it. In ... (more)

Their company, Journalism Online L.L.C., aims to supply publishers with ready-made tools to charge Internet fees, an idea that has gained currency as advertising revenue plummets, but whose prospects of success are doubted by many media analysts.

“IT’S amazing how little has changed around here,” says a character in the final episode of “E.R.”, which aired in America on April 2nd. Indeed, it seemed like old times for the hospital drama: 16m people tuned in, not many fewer than it drew a decade ago. But the impression of good times is no more real than a stage set.
