Newshare -- Sharing the future of news

* Just in case you haven't heard, Rupert Murdock, Chairman and CEO of News
Corporation, recently gave a speech to the American Society of Newspaper
Editors, where he told newspaper editors to, as FinFacts of Ireland put
it, "grab on to the digital revolution, stop fearing or ignoring the power
of the Web, and do more to focus on young news consumers -- or "digital
natives," as he called them -- who are increasingly going to the Internet
for information." Another shock wave for the online industry. You can read
more about Mr. Murdoch's speech here:

* Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project,
dropped a line earlier this week to say that his site has some updated
statistics on "who has created blogs and who is reading them." You can
