Preston on berliner, "the postmodern newspaper", etc

"In a sense, the newsprint version - this Berliner rethinking of role and purpose - is moving on to the next stage of news development. It could become what movie releases in cinemas are to DVD sales: a necessary outward and visible symbol of role and intent, but not the main digital event. Rusbridger's visionary zeal has already made the Guardian a global force on the net. Here he goes again. Autumn is about much more than paper and ink and typefaces. It is about the shape of things to come - even the first post-modern newspaper."
