Easter eggs

Don't think of them as bullets -- they're little black-dyed Paas creations:

• Online news isn't fulfilling its promise. Yet. More discussion at the Brookings Institution.
     
• AJR: The Dallas Mourning News. Plus, Belo's preaction.
     
• Congrats to Larry Skrenta and the crew at Topix.
     
• Interesting discussion on embargoes. While I think embargoes make no sense in today's world of instant communication, I also think a deal's a deal. So, to be clear, we don't respect embargoes on blasted-out press releases. And if staffers will only agree to embargoes on individual contacts when there's a darn good reason to do so. Be forewarned before sending us anything you're not ready to publicize. We'll make this policy clear on our site.
     
• Some people are noticing that aggregators (see Topix above) are the media biz darlings of the day. But, how will content creators make money?
   
• If you ever need a limited number of business cards quick, cheap and super-high quality, we heartily recommend Prints Made Easy. Especially if you don't have a design pre-made. Their tool is the height of ease and sophistication. And we got our order four days earlier than promised.
