If modern newspapers were as tech savvy as they once were …

Posted on October 4, 2007 by Howard Owens

Greg Harman of Belden posted the following to the Feds-DigitalMedia list, and with his permission I’m reposting here, just because I think it’s fun.

Once upon a time newspapers were oh-so-au-courant — we used the very latest technology to get up to the minute news & our names reflected that “technology forward” attitude we had back in 1863.  So we called our newspapers “The Telegraph”? or “The Telegram”? or some such thing.

But, 150 years have passed — perhaps we should envision new brandsâ — here’s some ideas.

The New York Modem
The Chicago Link
The Ypsilanti Keyboard
Altoona Mash-Up
Santa Fe New Internet
The Seattle HyperText

Anyway, just dreaming…..somebody wake me!

    There is a newspaper called Link. It’s the Virginia Pilot’s free, daily tab. But I like the idea!
