Is print still king? Has online made a move? Updating a controve

http://www.niemanlab.org/2010/04/is-print-still-king-has-online-made-a-move-updating-a-controversial-post/ A year ago, in a Nieman Journalism Lab post that garnered 88 comments and still has viral life out there, I maintained that just three percent of newspaper content consumption happens online; the rest of it happens the old fashioned way, by people reading ink on dead trees.

http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2010/03/paypal-hopes-to-lure-publishers-to-its-micropayment-system085.html With all the talk about paid content coming back into vogue (thanks, Rupert Murdoch!), it's a wonder that PayPal hasn't been part of the conversation.
