Heh... of course,
we knew that...
Good article. Although Josh centers his attention on hardware magazines, the same pretty much follows for most magazines that report on any kind of news or events.
I think the significant fact is that Josh, and others, have come to realize that web-based reporting is quickly improving in quality, reliability and trustworthiness. As those aspects improve, and the lower-quality sites are weeded out, the web is being considered as good a source of information as print.
And that doesn't just apply to news, but lots of other web-based activities, including e-books and web-based writing.
Just warms your heart, doesn't it?
