by on April 22, 2008 · 3 comments

The Britannica Blog has been running an absolutely terrific series of essays on “Newspapers & the Net,” which is examining the questions: “Are newspapers dead? Should we care?” The series kicks off with essays from three of my absolute favorite bloggers: Nick Carr, Clay Shirky and Jay Rosen, who is the author of the amazing blog, PressThink. I highly recommend that you read all the installments, however. Here’s the rundown of participants and essays in the series thus far:

Nicholas Carr: “The Great Unbundling: Newspapers & the Net“ Clay Shirky: “What Newspapers & Journalism Need Now: Experimentation, not Nostalgia“

Tuesday, April 8:

Jay Rosen: “Newspapers & the Net: Where’s the Business Model, People?”
Jon Talton: “When I Hear the Term ‘Citizen Journalist,’ I Reach For My Pistol!“

Wednesday, April 9:
