   Newspapers are businesses. Businesses need to make money. Every newspaper Web site costs money. Newspapers need to make Web content available to subscribers only and use software to prevent collectors like Drudge and Newswer from stealing their content and posting it free. The idea came from Mark Cuban and was written about about two months ago in Newsweek. It makes too much sense for most currently running papers to embrace.

   I am interested in the subject but alas I sit at home with a non-walking cast and I too ask if some other access to the Loud Mouths be possible?

   I am a lover of the printed word and a decade after I can access the sane information on the Internet I still subscribe to three Newspapers and many magazines.

   I am not a reactionary but I just cannot trust blogging as much as say News stories and articles by professional accredited producers. The advantage of these folk is doubtless the fact that I can frame them by past articles and their own credentials.

   Bloggers on the other hand often have individual viewpoints that I can agree with but often fear their conclusions are reached by steps with which I may not agree. I mean The Onion is very entertaining to the well informed but for me to lift the information they provide and broadcast it to the unwary could be an act of unconscious able misfeasance.

   Yesterday I was checking some footnotes to “The Nine,” and realized that is another advantage to the printed word. In blogs we do have responsible hyper text possibilities but often they are pretty grandiose excursions that exceeed what footnotes should be, i.e, simple and brief fact check devices.

   Yes, we’ll be streaming the event on the frontpage of wnymedia.net and anywhere else people want to embed the player. We’ll also archive it for later watching.

   I prefer the printed word but online is best for up to the minute news.

   There have been times when I wanted to bookmark an article in TBN on the same day that I had read on paper and couldn’t find it without using the search box, so if I only read online I’d miss a lot. Many people don’t seem to care, but I do.

   Preferring to read in short segments works better with paper too. It travels easier than a laptop and it doesn’t matter if I leave it behind.

   I also appreciate the variety that comes with online sources. Also, the opinion pages have always been my favorite, so I get more of that online.

   Both – I like both!
