Why Blog - A video by Steven Levitt of Freakonomics fame and a Professor of Economics at University of Chicago. This short video is part of the Freakonomics blog being absorbed by the NYTimes. This video and Levitt’s post titled “If You Were a Terrorist, How Would You Attack?” are interesting examples of the interaction between new and old media. Levitt writes an Opinions piece centered on eliciting user ideas in the comments and posts a home-made video on the pages of the New York Times. Also Terrorism, Part II.

Booksellers and publishers are on the long list of industries with major issues to work out as they’re dragged into the digital millennium.
