Jeff Jarvis and other media bloggers report about print newspapers that go online – not to to die, because they were dead already.

Like the papers in Detroit.

Sorry, but Yahoo!, MySpace, Google, Flickr, YouTube or Facebook, for example, are quite mature [...]

The first decision will have this headline:
WSJ Stops Charging for Access to Its Web Site.
Any doubt?
No.
So, the Financial Times is next.
As Jeff Jarvis says in a terrific post:
It’s the relationship that is valuable.
It’s the relationship that is profitable, not the control of the content or the distribution.
That is the essential media moral [...]

Clark Hoyt, the new public editor of The New York Times, is right:
The New York Times has been very soft covering the Sulzberger family, and very agressive covering the Bancrofts.
