News Media Milestones
A couple interesting media stories that caught my eye yesterday -- this coming from a former newspaper journalist and someone whose father has been a newspaper reporter for more than 40 years, still at it well into his 60s ...
1. Reuters reported yesterday that online news consumption surpassed newspapers for the first time, attributing the milestone mostly to new technologies such as the iPad and other mobile devices.
2. One thought I hadn't given to things like e-readers is how they will affect the public library system, like this NY Times story details.

New Robin Pecknold (of Fleet Foxes) tunes
Check out Robin Pecknold's beautiful new acoustic jams on Stereogum. They are both organic and bright, reminiscent of Nick Drake and culling up scenes of a backwoods stream and a misty Dublin morn.
