Greg Beato of Reason writes, somehow, we’ll struggle through the death of newspapers OK:

Journalism may be in flux right now, but the long-term trend is toward more transparency, more news, a better-informed citizenry.

His HDNet series Dan Rather Reports has a Twitter account, and one of his staffers posts to it regularly.

At 140 characters max per ghostwritten tweet, Dan can be fake but abbreviated!
