Given the constant erosion of the printed press, do you see the New York Times still being printed in five years?

"I really don't know whether we'll be printing the Times in five years, and you know what? I don't care either," he says.

Sulzberger is focusing on how to best manage the transition from print to Internet.

"The Internet is a wonderful place to be, and we're leading there," he points out.

More U.S. teachers are using national and international online-news sites in the classroom, leaving behind newspapers that fail to grasp the Internet's importance in trying to reach students, a study found.

Fifty-seven percent of teachers use Internet-based news in the classroom with some frequency, said the study, which was based on a survey of 1,262 teachers in grades 5 through 12 in the fall of 2006 and released on Monday by the Carnegie-Knight Task Force on the Future of Journalism Education.

That compares with 31 percent for national television news and 28 percent for daily papers. Local television news, at 13 percent, was at the bottom of the list, the study found.

My blogospheric partner in crime started his new gig today; at the much ballyhooed Politico. Will be interesting seeing this thing get off the ground, or not. Nonetheless, am rooting for it!

The Politico provides us a real-life test case of new media vs. old. Jim Vandehei and John Harris of WashPo fame are at the helm. You can read the entirety of their new media manifesto here, but some highlights follow:

It is an odd moment, to be sure, in the larger context of our profession. Layoffs are the norm at many news organizations. Buyouts and involuntary reassignments, accompanied by vague and ominous all-newsroom memos about more wrenching changes ahead, are the fashion at others. To be optimistic about the future in this climate of gloom is an act of will.

It's been a pleasure watching Daily News reporter Ben Smith in action (and not just b/c he's my partner in crime).

As I write, Ben is busy showing the world what exactly it means to be an intrepid reporter in the digital age - weaving a story online and off, in print, on the web and on air.

Yesterday, Ben launched the "Giuliani Papers" Scandal - which was both featured on the cover of the Daily News as well as on the front page of the News's website. Both debuted around 3:00am.
