<p>Design and layout is getting easier and faster, and there really hasn&#8217;t been any innovation in newspaper design in the past 100 years. If a political campaign can turn around a commercial in 4 hours, I don&#8217;t see why a newspaper can&#8217;t essentially design a magazine every day. I doubt we would see the New York Times doing something like this, because it is so wedded to tradition. But a smaller paper like <em>The Boston Globe</em> (he said hopefully) is in more dire financial straights and more willing to experiment. I would be delighted to pay to get a copy of that to arrive on my doorstep every morning. Information is cheap, but a pleasurable reading experience is something that is still worth paying for.</p>
