Good Work, Christian Science Monitor

Christian Science Paper to End Daily Print Edition, NY Times
The CSM is taking the bold step that all newspapers are going to have to take in the next 15-20 years or so: moving solely to the web. They’re an ideal first mover because of their non-profit business model, and thus aren’t losing the big percentages of revenue that metro print papers would drop if they moved today. If you support journalism, it’s time to cheer a paper that’s able to cut the biggest cost of a paper — printing — to keep putting out a solid product.
