Thank the prolific electronic tablets for helping bring about another change in the publishing world.
Newsweek Magazine is the first major news publication to forgo print for an online format.
Spurred by multi-million-dollar losses, the move to cyberspace cuts costs considerably--think presses, newsprint and delivery expenses.
Tablets allow the same portability and readability as newspapers and magazines while introducing audio and video enhancements.
Reporters file stories with photos as well as videos with interviews. Editors have skills in paring both copy and tape.
News publications switching to online formats hopefully will retain their professional reputations for accuracy and thoroughness.
Something the blogosphere can't offer. (9 DECEMBER 2012)
