On the death of print . . .

“It’s such a phony war, print versus the Internet. So much of print has one foot in on the Web these days—New Yorker writers blog, Times reporters shoot digital video. And the so-called old lions are turning out wonderful journalism—see our Cheat Sheet, which is agnostic about print or online journalism, on a daily, hourly basis.”
—Tina Brown, former magazine editor and now the roar behind The Daily Beast, which turns 1 this week. (Click here for interview.)

Editor’s Note: Rumors of our death are highly exaggerated.

  1. Love the Beast. Between the Beast, the Kos, and the Huffington Post, I’m inoculated against Fox News.

  2. I subscribe to The New Yorker. Have for decades. Except when Tina Brown was editor.
