A colleague showed me a column in The Wall Street Journal this week by former publisher L. Gordon Crovitz. It concerned a 2006 conversation he had had with Steve Jobs, in which the Apple CEO told Crovitz that by 2011 printed newspapers would be dead. “Whenever I have the time to pick up the printed version of the newspaper,” Jobs said, “I wish I could do this all the time, but our lives are not like that any more.”
