Back in the dark ages of print news, daily papers provided us with the most immediate updates on the world situation — while Time and Newsweek delivered analysis and trend pieces. These days, follow-up commentary on every kind of news story — from earth-shattering to trivial — can be found almost immediately on the Web.
