Yet it parallels the HuffPo buy in a major way: It’s an attempt by AOL to get bigger faster. Look at AOL’s financials and it’s clear Armstrong is in a race against time. As one savvy newspaper veteran pointed out to me last week, AOL looks, ironically, a lot like a newspaper company. It has a ...

It's a tough dance, and one that conservatives love to watch. I'm struck by how different the dance is in the UK, another English-speaking country with a fairly decent history of democracy and free press. There, the Guardian -- which is now getting a global profile for its work, courtesy of its ...
