Well at least the mimeograph and its solvents have been replaced. I could see where "speed" might effect reporting, say the "fodder shortage" in the former eastern soviets and the breakdown of state-sponsored system of commune barter (Dave Maresh, to start with Al Jazeera, once said one 3 am on a major network) broke down over tobacco and chickens, leading to the collapse of the USSR is just being reported and put together now, it really sometimes is where the attention of the public might be, not so much the story.
