So by the time the print version comes out it's old news? ???
Front-Ranger:
This week's "Shouts and Murmurs" wasn't funny again but it was engaging, with slivers of wit scattered throughout. I found the idea of God and an angel acting as parents of the human race amusing but the repeated reference to God worrying about money disturbed me. So, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I began ruminating on the nature of God. It was very productive, and I ended up with the conclusion that "pain and bread are the same word."

Kind of, I guess. It rarely makes a difference, except for big breaking news. Tomorrow's paper may contain five fewer "no" votes for Kevin McCarthy than the online version.
Both have their advantages. The digital versions come out earlier and, perhaps more valuably, contain links to related sites that aren't worth spelling out the URL of in the print story. On the other hand, the print editions have more attractive page designs.
Front-Ranger:
So, is it true that the New Yorker has published the January 6th Report? Maybe as subscribers, we'll get a discount or can access it online!
serious crayons:
Appears they did publish it, but no sign (so far) that it's available to subscribers. It's not very expensive. And of course it's an extremely important historical record. But TBH, I know I'd never read 752 pages, most of which must be pretty dry. I'm content to get a more succinct version from a news outlet or commentator.
