The AP, Not News Aggregators, Is the Problem

Jeff - great ideas here. I'm curious; sometime last year I read that CNN was attempting a startup to replace the AP. They apparently launched the idea by flying newspaper execs down to Atlanta to discuss the next steps. But I've heard nothing of it since. Clearly, there's an opportunity here for somebody like CNN, which already has the bandwidth, to see some of these ideas through ... especially while the AP goes down its portal path. Any updates on what progress, if any, CNN has made?

Newspaper Industry: Evolution or Catastrophe?

I'm sorry, Bill. I hate to disagree (because I've loved the newspaper industry), but it's plain and simple: companies no longer reach consumers that spend money by advertising in the newspaper.
