There may always be a place for paper. This isn’t about that – the likelihood that print is on the verge of extinction – but rather how a new generation of editors and writers present the news in a digital world. The new format for news – there must always be a standard eventually – is evolving, as dinosaurs wheeze and choke.

I can always tell how healthy a magazine is just by looking at it.  If it looks like it’s been eating well and lifting weights, I figure it’s doing fine.  But when I see those anorexic magazines that fold over like soggy pizza when I pick them up, I know they’re in trouble.  Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot more anorexic magazines, and a lot fewer hearty ones.  In the meantime, if my computer were a magazine, it’d be fat and robust.
