The media revolution is in full force.  According to the New York Times:

After a century of continuous publication, The Christian Science Monitor will abandon its weekday print edition and appear online only, its publisher announced Tuesday. The cost-cutting measure makes The Monitor the first national newspaper to essentially give up on print.

As the Pulitzer Prize winning Christian Science Monitor goes online only, the Seattle Times, Seattle Post-Intelligencer and The Oregonian have all reported declining circulation numbers, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal and the Portland Business Journal.

    It’s just a matter of time before all newspapers will adopt this model, I think. Just up until a couple years ago, I still read papers religiously, but then I discovered the joy of RSS. Newspapers are a waste of paper, esp. considering by the time they hit the stands, the information is outdated. The whole concept of them just doesn’t work anymore, in my view.
