Can the P.I. Become an Online Newspaper?

If the Seattle Post–Intelligencer isn't sold within 60 days it will be shut down entirely — unless it turns into an online paper. Could the P–I survive online?

Don Tapscott on the Net Generation

Eleven years ago Don Tapscott came up with the term "net generation" to describe young people growing up in the digital world. Tapscott wrote an influential book, "Growing Up Digital," in 1997.

Seattle Media: May Day is a "Traffic Headache"

While the Los Angeles Times at least tells us what the May Day marches are about ("immigrant and labor rights today")and something about the marchers, local media limit their coverage to potentional traffic disruptions:

"May Day Protesters Clog Olympia Streets"-KOMO-TV.

"May Day rally, M's game could tie up traffic today"-Seattle Times.

"Major traffic delays expected downtown on Tuesday afternoon"-Seattle P-I.

Howie P.S.: These headlines don't tell us much. After all, wouldn't you expect a protest march to fill the streets with people?
