The new Times Reader looks pretty cool, and like a pretty good way to put stuff on a computer screen and still have nice design elements and readability. Still, the amount of information I'm willing to read on a computer screen is still limited. I read a New York Times column a couple minutes ago and stopped after the second paragraph when I realized the thing was about four screens long. And Slate only keeps my attention because its articles are two pages or less, and even then, I sometimes cut out early.
Put me in a chair with an in-depth Newsweek report, though, and I'm reading and underlining away.

For a journalist, I am concerned about your lack of attention span ... You gotta try harder, girl!

My attention span is magnificent, just not on a computer screen (or in a lecture, or in traffic...OK, I may have problems). My point is, it's a pain to read off a screen, and I seem to be a lot more fidgety reading from there than when I have hard copies. What to do....
