TWiT takes on the WSJ

Even though I think it’s great, the latest episode of This Week in Tech attacked the new revamp of the Wall Street Journal.

John Dvorak’s prescription for the industry: “A newspaper is supposed to be about news. It’s not supposed to be about features, these long-winded features about hemlines or something that’s got nothing to do with anything. … If you’re going to bore the public to death with the product and wonder why the circulation is down, look within.”

But apparently not to your hemline.

In related news, all of the Freedom Communication papers are going to be getting new Web sites in the next few months (so yes, this means a new, new Daily Press Web site). I’m not quite sure what the end result will be, but it sounds like the new Hesperia Star site will be of a destination site than it is currently, which is all to the good. First up will be a big Web-only feature about Hesperia hemlines.
