Allow me to ask the group's advice. I'm looking for names of people you 
think are the best to answer questions about the future of newspapers, 
and how the Internet will affect them. I'm writing a chapter of a book 
(anthology) on the topic of "The Dumbing Down of Media," where a 
principal question I hope to answer is, Will the new interactive media 
influence in a positive or negative way the future of quality newspapers? 
(Is the Internet steering newspapers to be more tv-like or publish more 
market-driven stories in order to compete for readers' time? etc.)

My question to you is: Who in your view are the leading newspaper industry 
thinkers with an understanding of how technological trends are affecting 
the quality of newspapers? Your recommendations as to who I should be 
interviewing would be appreciated. (And feel free to answer the question 
yourself!)

Feel free to post answers to the list and not just to me privately. Might 
make for an interesting thread.
