Hardly world-shattering but shows recognition of how other media are impacting on the writing style in newspapers. More interesting is the online chat with E Ink's Russ Wilcox and readers. In it (for example) Frank Ahrens of the Post says of the future of the newsprint Post, "it seems inconceivable that it will be a place for breaking news. Therefore, it seems to me that it might take on the character of what a newsweekly like Time is now--longer pieces, more analysis, maybe projects, big displays of graphics and photos that wouldn't look as good on the Web. If this is true, it seems to me the circulation will drop radically, but you might be able to charge a premium for the product, say $1 or so a copy, because it's information you're not getting anywhere else."
