the new Oregonian: not just the death of print, but the death of News

Pondering the new Oregonian…

On the second page, there’s a story at the bottom which tells the results of an incredibly meaningless online poll of politicians.  Apparently some GOP figures polled ahead of other politicians because of some mild online activism.

The poll doesn’t relate to how they might do in any election, mind you.  But it is indicative of the new approach of the Oregonian of “online first”, and “everyone get stuff online all the time”, and then we’ll wrap it up in the print edition.

Which the paper is “Proud Of”…

And the Beat goes on.
