Patrick Thibodeau reports for Computerworld – “In a forum today marking the 25th anniversary of the first .com registration, former President Bill Clinton spoke about his favourite devices, the grim outlook for newspapers and the need for policies to improve Internet access.”

“Clinton offered a grim take on mainstream media when asked by VeriSign CEO Mark McLaughlin about his favorite websites. In response, he ticked off several political sites, including Politico, The Daily Beast and Huffington Post, as well as a few ‘right wing ones’ to get both sides of the political debate. But Clinton said that many of the political sites ‘don’t have to do what a newspaper does every day,’ which is why he is ‘really worried about our ability to maintain any newspapers’ or anything that ’serves as a standard of objectivity,’” Thibodeau reports. “‘It’s almost impossible given the economics of the modern world for newspapers to continue…,’ said Clinton.”
