I was particularly interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/newspaperdeathwatch.com\/2007\/09\/22\/a-debate-over-the-state-of-newspapers\/\">this recent debate about the health of the job marketing in newspapers<\/a>. It appears that the catastrophic declines in advertising sales are beginning to ease, but the overall prognosis for major metros is still pretty bleak. The good news is that small-market and community publishing is picking up some of the slack. As I\u2019ve written on this blog many times, small markets are where it\u2019s at.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Over at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.innovations.ziffdavis.com\/\">Innovations<\/a> blog I write at Ziff-Davis, recent entries include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"disc\">\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/innovations.ziffdavis.com\/2007\/09\/the_inevitability_of_free_soft.html\">An      interview with free software advocate Eben Moglen<\/a> about why software      wants to be free. He makes a compelling comparison between software and      arithmetic, arguing that if humans had had to license arithmetic every      time they wanted to use it, we\u2019d all be much worse off.<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"\">There\u2019s      also an <a href=\"https:\/\/innovations.ziffdavis.com\/2007\/09\/everything_is_miscellaneous_an.html\">interview      with David Weinberger<\/a>, author of the new book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everythingismiscellaneous.com\/\">Everything is      Miscellaneous<\/a>.
