Newspapers Online

While going to UW-Tacoma, I had the opportunity to find myself in a guest lecture given by Mark Briggs of the Tacoma News Tribune. He is the editor of TheNewsTribune.com It was a unique experience to be able to view what is becoming the new world of news through his futuristic eyes. I also decided to Simpsonize myself as I saw that he had done so. However, the picture upload device is down at the moment, so I will post it later. What I thought was especially interesting was the power the press truly had in the early years of America. Briggs explained of the monopoly of advertisement that the papers had, and it is amazing to me. Nowadays, Google.com is responsible for 40% of the world's advertisements!! Talk about becoming a Virtual world!! I simply cannot wait for the google grid!!
