I blundered into a re-airing of the hearings on C-Span and was caught by Senator Kerry's mention of the Kindle. There was a larger issue here, of course: the future of journalism, both print and digital. Indeed, the future of reading, itself.
I had to tune out. But later, I checked the blogs and was surprised at the torrent of emotion--for and against. Clearly, this hearing hit a nerve.
I couldn't help wondering: What do our esteemed members feel about the issues? Many thoughtful observers throw up their hands and say that it is simply too early to trace the outlines of the new reading and reporting realities. New models will emerge. But--today--they are shadowy, at best.
What say you?
