Max Kalehoff at OnLine Spin puts in a good word for something we tend to overlook in the digital diatribe over print: people.
The Wall Street Journal will debut a new magazine called Pursuits.
And the Economist does what it’s always done, leave the fluff to others.

The final sentence of the Trib’s analysis of the Economist summarizes the problem succinctly, as far as meat and pudding are concerned. When mom’s not around, you eat candy all day, ignore the four basic food groups, and finally get ill and vomit. Then you start the process all over again, like the rat who presses the opiate bar ceaselessly until it dies. Where’s the mom who’s going to remind us to eat foreign policy and health-care policy and war news alongside our O.J. and Britney?

There are times when I wonder whether it matters at all. I bet if you tracked the stats, you’d find there has been a consistent level of American electorate uninvolvement going back to the beginning of the Republic.
Day to day, there is intense involvement in all levels of our culture, but only by a few. Local communities are universally run by a minority of people who give a crap. And it think that scales throughout government and business. In business, there are a few who really care and the rest just have jobs.
Is it any different than any other country in the world? Probably not.
