Some publishers are seeking to create a modern version of Life magazine. What do imagine that would look like? How about National Geographic?

I love, for example, what the teams at The New York Times are doing to enhance stories with creative uses of the modern web.

The web is not broken, it’s simply revealing that this is a better way to consume breaking news.

Agree that some sites are producing some really high-quality work leveraging the modern web. The problem, for me, is that many sites think of everything as _content_ that must be flashy (but hopefully not Flash-y). If I click to read an article about the devastation in Barbuda, I don't necessarily need the full production of related content to be thrown in my face along with the text that I really want to read.

This is the highest-impact format with which one can consume news, though. Magazines are great, but lots of people are just looking for a quick shot of the current news. This sort of UI is ideal for that need.

This is exactly why the Drudge Report has stayed relevant for 20 years.
