You can read five, eight, 10 newspapers and still not catch everything of interest to your most important audience: you. I would bet serious money that the combination of RSS feeds, Twitter alerts, and other specific filters generate a news diet that's substantially more filling than anything purely on paper.

Sree spoke here at UMass a few years ago, and he's one of the smartest guys out there on digital journalism. Check out Sree's Columbia Journalism School audio seminars on blogtalkradio.com. I'm using LinkedIn more in reporting lately--you can search for groups that cover the topic you're interested in, and you get quick responses from potential sources. For students, LinkedIn has really expanded its services and now includes a place where teachers and employers can put recommendations, so it's a real good tool for young job-hunters.

Two? And he's a journalism professor? My mother in law reads more than two. He only reads TWO newspapers? Two? And he’s a journalism professor? My mother in law reads more than two.
