Didn't know they weren't doing this before. So it's news, but kind of "oh, of course!" kind of news.

VERY interesting.

The company that owns the New Republic may be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Reminds me of that great Pat Buchanan quote from Packer's New Yorker piece on the death of convervatism: "Every great cause starts as a movement, becomes a business and ends as a racket." While the conservative movement is dying as a racket, the progressive movement is becoming a business.

The last day. Very sad.

NY Mag does around 60 mill PVs/mo. Interesting.

Youch. Ad pages down 60%!

As is typical for newspapers, digital revenue is up but nearly as much as print revenue is down down down. The pain continues.

The definitive piece on the death of newspapers.

The Post-Intelligencer starts linking out. Hybrid reporting/aggregator alert!

A strange entry into the fight for credit for Obama new media operation.

Monetizing the live web.

National Review has over 200,000 print subscribers.

Andreessen joining the VC space. Fascinating interview about business and technology.

Interesting to read, but if the companies I have personal knowledge of are indicative, completely and totally wrong. Like badly.

You need scale and a coherent brand, so Denton is pulling all his little blogs into the big Gawker.

MSNBC and Buzzlogic ad networks contract post-election in the face of shrinking ad dollars.

The powerpoint from the NYTs API presentation today.

Ezra very excellently explains the pluses and minuses of pure market-based political reporting.

Keep it up YouTube. Maybe you'll find an actual biz model!

Tomasky goes to Democracy Journal. So much for Guardian's goal to build a TPM-style in America.

Very interesting for the WH to go open source. Good for them

Politico's whorish editorial policies.

Greg makes trouble by getting a react from Harris. MSM CAT FIGHT!

Started yesterday w/ TPM, apparently continuing tonight w/ FDL. I wonder how he's getting away w/ only doing progressives…

Continually amazed at how little traffic they consider a lot.

Also, this piece, though effective at conveying the atmospherics, is shockingly superficial when it comes to the actual practice of web political journalism.

Interesting. As bandwidth gets there, live online video is going to be fun to watch proliferate.

Always skeptical of Nielsen #s, but interesting nonetheless. TPM is right up there, too. Could easily sneak into the top 15 if we had a print product to get us on the list.

One of the most satisfying blog posts I've read in a long time. An effective takedown of the "end of the era of long attention spans" about the digital world.

Definitely a good pitch for TPM.

My pops makes the case for the hometown newspaper.

That's one hell of a growth curve.
