Right on, Tom, Right On: "If mass media are to survive I think they will have to become forums where professional journalists frame issues, stakeholders argue the nuances and policy makers surf the results and, one would hope, make better decisions." That, in a general form, is the crux of the solution to many, many problems. In the specific form you used it is the beginning of a solution to the Newspaper problem. All that is required is a tune-up to make it saleable. Your idea of an experiment is an excellent next step. Since I am on a similar path, I would like to offer my web site as an extension to your experiment. Let me publish your work and let's get people to evaluate your on-line approach versus my off-line approach. See http://nationalcomputerassociation.com There are a few other things to discuss, of course; however, the solution for local newspapers lie in both on-line and off-line distribution of content that capitalizes on the built in local advantage.
