Let Newspapers Die, Newsweek Columnist Says
Newsweek's Daniel Lyons thinks that newspapers should not be saved. "Let them die and get out of the way," he writes ... would that be kind of like how Newsweek is dying, to make way for real news magazines?

MNCC Update
After the server failure nppa.org sustained the week after Labor Day the archive of MNCC winners was taken offline. Since the server has been restored it has been a time consuming process restoring thousands of winning images and entered images waiting to be judged. We expect the process to be completed within a week and have the galleries back online and the judging process resumed. The outage has not affected entered images or the ability to enter online. We thank you for your understanding and patience.
