Hard News (washingtonpost.com)

Insightful piece about the complex interplay of daily (print) newspapers and other news delivery channels.

The Times and the Post probably should begin charging for Web site subscriptions sooner rather than later, but it's a very tough timing decision.

In the future, national and international news services, e.g., big wire services like Reuters, and even Murdoch's News Corp. are in the catbird seat because newspapers may have a hard time financially supporting first rate news organizations with more limited electronic outlets.
