Though newspapers nationwide continue to struggle for survival amid the economic downturn and free Internet news content, at least one seems to be making the switch from daily newsprint to online news with support from print subscribers. Two board members who help oversee operation of the Christian Science Monitor, along with other facets of the Boston-based faith, were in Salt Lake City recently and told the Deseret News their new online operation has managed to retain most of its print subscribers.
The century-old Christian Science Monitor announced Tuesday that it will become the first nationally distributed newspaper to stop publishing a daily print edition, instead bolstering its Web presence in hopes of chasing online advertising dollars, the Boston- based publication announced Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- I received the news about the end of the printed Christian Science Monitor daily with a special sadness -- beyond being deprived of the excellent nonprofit physical newspaper.

Nuggets from the notebook while wondering if Maine's labor groups will be emboldened by their colleagues in Wisconsin ...

Secondly, I would hope that they understand the positive effects of cutting capital gains and dividend tax rates. The last timo I was with Tony Snow, he-the last time we had a series discussion was at the Christian Science Monitor breakfast, and he said the Republican Party missed a very big opportunity not passing the comprehensive package that you supported.
In an online sting reminiscent of the 2009 videos that brought down ACORN, six new videos allegedly showing Planned Parenthood managers giving advice to people posing as a "pimp" and a "prostitute" are causing problems for the organization.
