Interesting article that describes the rise and potential ascendence of online news. The most interesting bit is here: "It is in the workplace where the Internet as a news medium truly overwhelms its competitors. The Web’s strengths of 24-hour availability, immediacy and updates are most needed at work, where other media with comparative capacities for immediate updates like television (today’s most important source of news) and radio are generally not available." Now if you view the news to be a type of learning, as I do, then this statement should have a special resonance to you.
