Web surfing or crawl watching is not reading: We need stories that provide context, perspective, nuance and subtlety, stories that don't just tell what happened 10 seconds ago but why it happened and how it happened and what it means and what might happen next - next week and next month and next year.
Instead, television sound bites are getting shorter and shorter, more newspapers are publishing "news roundups" instead of real stories, and magazines increasingly want not only shorter stories but also bigger pictures - and the more sex and celebrity the better.
