Newspapers: Give Us More Creativity Please

You're right, of course. A campus full of PhDs from Stanford who 'get' the new paradigm of information ubiquity and can create new ways of organizing it is unbeatable, of course.

I would quibble with your closing line. Google, in fact, is creative with other people's information, not their own. That's their genius. Newspapers seek to do huge acts of creation by themselves, Google networks the creative power of the world and builds applications off of that. The timeline of news is just that kind of thing.
