I consider the decision of the
Newsweek publishing group to exchange paper for the “cloud” to be quite
relevant. Given the immediacy and speed of these media, a lot of news is
logically disseminated through information technologies. But I still think that
at least some news merits being published and preserved “physically” in print form.
I don’t doubt the capacity of
virtual archiving or availability in the “cloud”… but I still think that a
total replacement of printed media should be undertaken with caution, and with
special care for those matters that must survive the passage of time as
essential referents to guide the steps of future generations.
