"No one asks if magazines have had their day because it's obvious to all involved that the answer will always be, "yes." A question you already know the answer to is not news. A question that would surprise you with an answer that doesn't match your experience is news. Note that I am defining "news" by the strangely pernicious definition that seems to have crept into the industry of the last few decades. "News" is one of two things: something surprising that bolsters the opinion or idea that the journalist already had, or something "everyone knows" that erodes the position of someone that the journalist doesn't like. Everything else? Mere facts." - Alexander Williams
