CJR Daily has a telling look at traditional journalism then and now (Abe Lincoln, a Terrorist in Training and, Yes, Jennifer Wilbanks):

In the dog days of summer, newsmags are wont to turn to old news -- sometimes 140-year-old news. Time put Honest Abe on the cover this week, with a nine-story feature package covering the "True Lincoln." Last time Time fronted Lincoln: May 10, 1963. (Subscription required.) We looked into it because we thought he'd been on Time's cover last year. Silly us, last Fourth of July it was Thomas Jefferson. Here's the thing, though: In that 1963 issue of Time, we discover articles reported from Italy, Great Britain, Russia, Yugoslavia, France, Yemen, South Africa, Congo, West Irian, Red China, Togo, Ceylon, Hispaniola and Canada. And today? We won't embarrass anyone with numbers, but, on the bright side, there is an illuminating article out of Baghdad.
