Regardless of whether the medium is print or online, its about trusting your source as a news content provider. Just as TV did not replace radio, the web will not replace print. All new mediums rely on and add value to other mediums. What's remarkable about both of these stories is showing how communities form around news sources that are trusted and who will provide them with "different" content. The web just makes it easy to have an interactive conversation with like-minded people more immediate. That's why I like cl.com, but would never pass up my paper copy.
