Amazon.com and Google use different venues on the same day to suggest the
future of journalism and news delivery. Amazon.com's Kindle DX, the next
generation of its popular electronic reader, can deliver and display
newspapers electronically. Meanwhile, in Congressional testimony, a Google
executive discusses the form that news could start to take online.

The Kindle DX, however, seems to have come not to bury print journalism,
but to attempt to save it. Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos announced during his
presentation that his company had entered into an agreement through which
three newspapers, The New York Times, The Washington Post and the Boston
Globe, will offer a cheaper version of the Kindle to customers who live
outside the home-delivery range and who agree to a long-term electronic
subscription.

Also on May 6, Google decided to highlight its recent place in the
evolution of news. Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search
products and user experience, testified before the Senate Committee on
Commerce, Science and Transportation on "The Future of Journalism."
In her remarks, Mayer concluded, "Preserving robust and independent
journalism at the national and local levels is an important goal for the
United States. Google is doing its part by driving significant traffic to
online news publishers, by helping them generate revenue through
advertising, and by providing tools and platforms enabling them to reach
millions of people."
