MY PLAN FOR THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE

Jeff Bezos recently shelled out $250 million for The Washington Post. But The New York Times is really the only serious newspaper left standing. When one says "serious," he means no disrespect to USA Today, which is better than its reputation, or The Wall Street Journal, which is better under Rupert Murdoch than most people expected. But only The New York Times is encyclopedic: It aspires to tell everything one needs to know before venturing out into the world each day. And it often succeeds. Here, Kinsley discusses his plans for The National Tribune as the competition is healthy. Physically, The National Tribune could be either a local-news insert with a national/international wraparound or the other way around.
