Generally I find newsprint to be wasteful, mostly because what is printed on it is a bit of a waste (not that most blogs aren't tripe either). Frankly though, I'm not certain if most newspapers are worth saving in their current, rather diminished state. Still, I and a lot of my generation like reading the New York Times, especially online... here are a few bits:

Shepard Fairley gets probation.

Roberta Smith critiques the Guggenheim's collecting practices.

Ken Johnson feels some young artists need more time to develop. It reminds me what is so good about Portland, artists get to develop more fully (esp. those who have the discipline) than a place like New York which often rushes them to market. Maybe, Portland is the slow food of art scenes? Still, it is amazing how many of our local artists do get galleries elsewhere when they are ready (though there are always more that deserve it). Being undervalued beats being overrated.
