The main point I was trying to make was NOT that social media and newsprint are mutually exclusive. I was using the example of the Facebook/FriendFeed story as an illustration of newspapers and their audience. Katie, how many times have you opened the paper to see a story and say, "I knew about that yesterday." That's my point. Facebook and FriendFeed was a story that had been reported exhaustively on the Web so it shouldn't be reported exhaustively in print, unless it was done by the hometown paper. In this case, the San Francisco Chronicle. Our own Express-News ran it as a brief on the front of the business section, which was appropriate. When day-old stories get huge play with no local connection, it makes me question the judgment of editors who could have used that space for a local story that local readers would want.

Count me as one who likes both newsprint and keyboards. I read the newspaper, I read blogs, I listen to cd's and Pandora. All are tools to fit my life depending on the situation. Exactly.
