Have you noticed that newspapers are becoming front ends for web sites? The line above this post comes from a New York Times promo for its multi-faceted web presence.

The S.F. Chronicle and S.J. Mercury are particularly chock full of pointers to additional web coverage, particularly for featured content.

Pity that the effort to easily embed pointers to web sites in print material, readable by a special, mouse-like device, did not succeed (I still have the free device, in its mailer, around here somewhere). New media rarely kill old media: but they do change how they are used…

    I’ve also noticed how much thinner print newspapers are becoming. I guess that’s the flip side what what you’ve described.
