My HN account is 521 days old and I can't downvote. Granted, I don't comment or submit very much, but I would assume that getting to 200? karma is something of a brake on opinionated newbies downvoting anything. Of course, this is less of a

The CSM is a really interesting case, as they did seem to transition from old media to new. But, after looking around their site for a minute, I noticed this subscriptions section that offers a weekly print edition. I wonder how much they m

Is there an example of any news organization like the New York Times that is purely web based? I don't mean in terms of size, or even prestige, but just in terms of content. Does there exist a self-sufficient, general interest, maybe high-e
