Marc Andreessen has kicked off a series of historical insights into the tumultuous, unsteady births of the different forms of media we experience today; he starts with one that, ironically, appears to be on its way out: the invention of the newspaper. It’s kickass, truly. I wish more blogs in my feed reader were like this, occasional high quality posts, not a stream of echo chamber coverage of big media news.
