POPSThe Economist to Open Theme Park Wow! Economics has become so main stream that it's going to be the focus of an amusement park. As someone who studied economics I find this really, really exciting for the profession!

POPSThe LA Times Newspaper Foundation? Lot of buzz in newspaper circles about turning newspapers into some sort of public trusts. I don't think this is crazy, particularly if the model is something similar to a university. I think even newspapers' harshest critics recognize the importance of original reporting, which has an educational/informational purpose -- that's not so far from a university to begin with.

POPSWhy the debate about financing journalism misses the point. Smart take from the editor of Slate. There've been a lot of stories about the future business model of journalism in recent weeks, with more to come I'm sure. This actually seems like the smartest to me. "They won't find the grail of a new economic model for journalism—because there wasn't an old one."

POPSThe Surprising Success of the Associated Press There are relatively few success stories in early 21st-century journalism, especially in the newspaper sector. It's interesting--and, to someone who cares about reported journalism, something of a relief--that the Associated Press is still doing so well.

POPSThe last, best day for newspapers I used to work at the Post and it was exciting to walk by the office yesterday and see a line of people clamoring for the paper. But I think it's the last, best day for the printed paper. I wonder if the Post will ever sell so many copies again? People like souvenirs of history, but how often does history happen? Before deadline? And able to get on the front page of the paper? It's just not that often. When it happens again in 10, 15, 20 years, will the lines be as long? I'm optimistic about the future of journalism. But I think the physical printed project, though probably not destined to go away completely, is still set to decline in numbers for very many years.
