The New York Times<\/a> reports that the Christian Science Monitor<\/a> has decided to terminate the hard copy edition and try to make it online (with the addition of a weekend magazine).<\/p>\n

The announcement of the decision<\/a> from the Monitor includes the following quote –<\/p>\n

“We plan to take advantage of the Internet in order to deliver the Monitor’s journalism more quickly, to improve the Monitor’s timeliness and relevance, and to increase revenue and reduce costs. We can do this by changing the way the Monitor reaches its readers.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
