"Newspapers used to have a monopoly on information, and it is taking them a long time to get used to the idea that they have lost it.

Gray, former managing publisher of The Christian Science Monitor, who now runs a research project called Newspaper Next at the American Press Institute in Reston, Va. 'Today we've got an infinite pipe for information, but we're still putting out a medium that goes out once a day and meets the needs of 100 years ago.'"
