Without venturing into a commentary on newspapers, I must say that news sites are meant for publishing articles in full. For instance, if you are a regular reader of International Herald Tribune or Guardian, you would notice some of their opinion articles are as big as 2500 words, this certainly can't be reproduced as a whole on the print edition. In fact, newspapers use their sites as a repository of excellent articles in full. As far some people's preferences of a particular newspaper, though I am not basically disputing their view that its editorial content is of the highest quality, I don't necessarily agree with their deliberate slant towards a particular ideology. All said, their technology coverage is comprehensive.
