Mark Coatney has joined at least one Newsweek.com staffer in presenting a very cogent case for saving Newsweek.com on Tumblr.

But if you take a few step backs the decision is, if anything, even more depressing.

For one thing, it demonstrates a clear failure to understand the web. Tina Brown is a creature of print, not of the web; Ryan Tate, for one, has chronicled her difficulties making the transition from the former to the latter. In the world of print, as Coatney says, it&8217;s conceivable that you can take one magazine&8217;s readership and transfer it to anotherthink the way that Life&8217;s readers were steered to Time, or Gourmet&8217;s to Bon Appetit. But you can&8217;t do that online, for reasons which Coatney outlines well and which the new bosses at Newsweek don&8217;t seem to grok at all.

More generally, there&8217;s a clear and obvious move among online media companies towards creating coherent sites for clearly-defined audiences, rather than attempting a one-size-fits-all mush. AOL has lots of sites at lots of different domains, as does Gawker Media and even the New York Times and Washington Post companies. The Newsweek Daily Beast Company is coming into existence owning two valuable and major websites with clearly distinct audiences. There&8217;s almost certainly a strong case not to try to build a third, while Newsweek is still in turnaround mode. But equally it&8217;s idiotic to try to cut those two sites down to just one.

Hidden in the intimate upstairs room of a posh vegan restaurant in New York sat a man deemed an "eco-terrorist." He prefers "eco-terraist."

Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, early member of Greenpeace, and current captain and star of “Whale Wars,” spent an evening discussing the premiere of season four of his reality show with a small group of journalists, including The Huffington Post. He spoke with a boyish grin, initially shy and yet subtly self-assured.

Animal Planet's “Whale Wars” follows Sea Shepherd's attempts to end Japanese whaling through aggressive intervention techniques on the Antarctic high seas. Sea Shepherd's actions and the show have faced praise and extreme scrutiny. After swapping his pistachio-encrusted tofu for a reporter's vegan lasagna, Watson announced, “They either love us or they hate us.”

Martin Fackler of The New York Times explains that critics call Sea Shepherd “an anachronism, because private fishing companies have dropped out under international pressure and the demand for whale meat is declining. Few Japanese eat whale anymore, and the meat from the hunt has piled up in freezers, or been given to children for school lunches.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — The crown prince of Abu Dhabi has hired the founder of private security firm Blackwater Worldwide to set up an 800-member battalion of foreign troops for the United Arab Emirates, The New York Times reported on.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — The crown prince of Abu Dhabi has hired the founder of private security firm Blackwater Worldwide to set up an 800-member battalion of foreign troops for the United Arab Emirates, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

The Times said it obtained documents that showed the unit being formed by Erik Prince's new company Reflex Responses with 529 million from the UAE would be used to thwart internal revolt, conduct special operations and defend oil pipelines and skyscrapers from attack.

The newspaper said the decision to hire the contingent of foreign troops was taken before a wave of popular unrest spread across the Arab world in recent months, including to the UAE's Gulf neighbors Bahrain, Oman and Saudi Arabia.

Of the 80 member team that was deployed to take down bin Laden, few draw more speculation than the one on four legs. Most likely a Belgian Malinois (though officials say it could also have been a German Shepherd), there was one.

Of the 80 member team that was deployed to take down bin Laden, few draw more speculation than the one on four legs.

Most likely a Belgian Malinois (though officials say it could also have been a German Shepherd), there was one non-human member of the SEAL team that raided Osama bin Laden's compound, according to the New York Times. The heroic pooch was strapped to a Navy SEAL as they were lowered from a hovering helicopter.

The news of the dog's use in the raid broke Wednesday, but like the other members of the team that was deployed, its identity remains unknown.

Reuters (NYSE: TRI) is officially launching an online service offering live video access to breaking and scheduled news events to outside publishers as it attempts to challenge the Associated Press and burnish its profile as more than provider and financial news and data.

The service, dubbed Live Stream, has been tested with launch partners The Tribune Company and Australia&8217;s Fairfax Media. It got its big debut last week when the NYTimes.com (NYSE: NYT) made use of the live video from the Royal Wedding in the UK, even though the New York Times has not officially signed on as a regular client. (Though the NYT is considering doing so, one source told paidContent.)
