Some questions for you, the reader
... as posed by CJR:
Take a look at the front page of your newspaper today. How many stories are on events that the average reader has already heard something about? The Metro section, is it riveting and creative? Or incremental and cramped? Does the paper have strong voices? Does it provide the kind of context that cuts through the fog of information? Does it have any fun? Does the photography speak volumes? Does the Web site offer more than digital newsprint? Can a reader get into the conversation? Do you want to read this newspaper?
If you don't have a copy handy, you can find today's front page here (probably near the top of the fourth set of pages).
So: How do you answer?
