America’s Historic Newspapers Online
Rich’s string of cool posts is enough to get me to stop writing about BarCamp Boston 2. The Library of Congress and National Endowment for the Humanities launched a new site this week with lots of content from American newspapers: Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers (Beta). (Gotta love the beta. When something gets to omega, let me know, eh?)
According to the project’s description, the site currently features contents from just a few states, but plans to grow to include papers from all 50 states and U.S. territories. The site also features a search of bibliographic data about newspapers published as long ago as 1690.

I think there will always be print media but it will need to become specialized for Local news only.
