Newsweek and The Daily Beast have finally agreed to merge. But with each business struggling, the new entity may be more like a marriage of two wounded media operations.
US News is not for sale. Wealthy owner Mort Zuckerman wants to keep the magazine, he just does not want to print it, so the publication will go completely online next year. December will be the magazine's last issue.
Of three Slate spinoff sites launched in the beginning of 2008, two have already folded. Will The Root, a site targeting African-American audiences, succeed where its siblings failed? There's some reason to think it might.
Apple's iPad Gives Wings to Media Stocks
4:30PM 1/27/2010
Correctly or naively, print publishers all seem to think the iPad, Apple's new touchscreen tablet computer, is going to save their hides -- and Wall Street seems to agree, at least cautiously, as several print media companies saw their stocks rise today.

The Washington Post (WPO) has long been one of a handful of what can rightfully claim to be great national newspapers. No longer. As of this week, the Post is adopting a humbler but perhaps savvier goal: to be a great regional newspaper -- albeit one with a national readership.

The Washington Post's executive editor should resign
1:40PM 10/19/2009
It's becoming increasingly, dismayingly clear that The Washington Post (WPO) made a mistake when it hired Marcus Brauchli to be its executive editor.
Brauchli came into the Post job a little more than a year ago with a big strike against him: As managing editor of The Wall Street Journal, he had...
Newspapers go back to Congress looking for relief (again)
9:20AM 9/25/2009
