And another thing....
Tim Porter's relatively new First Draft journalism Weblog is gathering steam, and today is full of fascinating stuff. He takes a look today at the Shuttle stories about possible effects of electrical phenomena like Red Sprites, Elves, and Blue Jets. I spent quite a bit of time reading and linking to this stuff yesterday at work, but Tim's put it all together here. Lots more on this blog (including an 'overstaffed' newspaper and the Tony Ridder discussion), don't miss it.

Also, a fascinating look at newspaper relevance during the Civil War on Rewrite, the future of newspapers blog.

And (via Derek Willis), The Center for Public Integrity has released information about upcoming legislation which would increase government surveillance and information restrictions.
