Thanks for posting this. I think you should have given credit to Reuters in writing rather than just linking to us on the jump. The way you posted what I wrote on this blog makes it look like you wrote it, not me.

Done!
ReplyDeleteGood article on newspapers. Although I read an occasional news piece on the web, my first choice is still the hard copy of the paper, especially the Wall Street Journal. Tough to beat. Nice work. I came across your blog while "blog surfing" using the Next Blog button on the blue Nav Bar at the top of my blogger.com site. I occasionally visit other blogs just to see what is out there, and determine the various, creative ways in which people all over the globe express themselves. Thanks for sharing.
