Scott Karp’s Publishing 2.0 blog is an excellent conversation starter around the topic of news organizations increasing, bettering their Web presence. I’ve been reading it heavily. Here’s a couple interesting posts:

On another note, it was reported yesterday that the #3 newsmagazine US News and Report is dropping print for the Web. This is a trend that will continue to happen with news organizations. I’d love to hear more discussion and thoughts about print-to-Web transitions and strategies by news organization insiders.
