Kevin: A detailed look at failures at the Las Vegas Sun. The economic melt down in Las Vegas had a role in dooming the project, but also, this article is a good look at some of the cultural issues that played a part in driving a wedge between the digital and print sides of the operation. It's a story of divergent strategies and divisive personalities. It's well worth reading for journalism managers struggling to execute integration strategies.

As a geek and a journalist who often covers technology, I pay attention to the gigabytes and gigahertz that most people don’t.

Kevin: Nicholas Carr has a very smart post looking at some of the economic theory behind the New York Times' paid content plans. The idea is based on Hal Varian's concept of "versioning" for digital goods.
