First Draft
Today I found another source of experienced opinion on the changing face of print communications -- Tim Porter, a fellow traveler into the future of print.
From his web page bio:
"I am an editor and writer who entered newspapering as a reporter with a typewriter and left it as an editor building websites. Today, I work independently but retain a passion for newspapers and the pursuit of quality journalism."

The website he built belonged to the San Francisco Examiner, and he was formerly the city editor there as well.

Porter's weblog, First Draft, chronicles the triumphs and travails of the newspaper industry. Newspapers -- like their ailing sisters in the printing industry -- are another industrial-age giant trying desperately to cope with a geriatric future. Their road into the future of print won't be easy, but for a lot of reasons they'll figure out how to survive. It just may not look anything like it does today. And the lessons they learn may be important to all of us.
