Two electronic newspaper editions that work: Florida Today and The Guardian

Honey, They Shrunk the Newspaper, Part 2 - In praise of the Florida Today and Guardian electronic editions. By Jack Shafer

After writing that several newspaper electronic editions "induce claustrophobia," Slate's Jack Shafer comes back with some kinder words for two he thinks does it right, the Florida Today and Guardian electronic editions.

And he's got some more good ideas, "Electronic editions should concentrate on improving upon the architecture of the daily newspaper, not merely mimicking it. As I've written before, electronic edition subscriptions should come bundled with generous privileges for searching back issues. Publishers might consider cross-pollinating their archives, allowing, say, Post electronic subscribers to dip into the archives of the Chicago Tribune and vice versa. Ideally, the electronic edition should be 'live' as long as a reader maintains an Internet connection, automatically updating itself 24-seven and even ringing like the old-time Associated Press wire if an extremely important story moves."
