Virtually paper-free
In my latest for the Guardian, I take a look at the Capital Times of Madison, Wis., a paid-circulation daily paper that will soon switch to free, mostly online distribution. Could the Cap Times be the newspaper of the future?

Do you know what the Capital Times labor situation is? Yeah, buggy-whip technicions, I know, but I have a 50-something friend on layout/printing at the Providence Journal. What should I tell *him*? "Take the buy-out"?
Consider this post from Techcrunch earlier today:

It's one more bit of information that makes me doubt that online advertising will ever be the sole source of funding for a legitimate news organization.
