  • Re: Bring back Today's Papers!

    I agree. I find that I visit Slate less often now that I can no longer get my daily news from it.

  • But, seriously guys, everyone does this. Bring backTP!

    Ok, Slate. I've tried ''Slatest'' for the week. I've signed up for my thrice daily emails. I've given it a shot. It's ok. It's similar to what every other news aggregator does, except maybe not as well. As with other aggregators, I've seen some interesting links. But it's no TP. TP is how I start every morning. If I don't have time for ...

  • What Happened to Today's Papers

    I have seen no posts since 23 August. Is today's papers joining the ''Good Things No Longer Available'' list? Regards

  • Call me a curmudgeon

    I Miss TP. It had a point of view. In just a few well-written paragraphs I gleaned what an intelligent, witty, reasonably nonpartisan journalist thought was of interest in major US newspapers to reasonably intelligent readers. Though sadly newspapers those too are failing and becoming mere aggregators themselves. Investigative journalism, ...

  • "Today's Papers" and "In Other Magazines" Were Perfect

    There's got to be some other reason why Slate decided to get rid of Today's Papers and In Other Magazines. They were both perfect. The Slatest is not a better news aggregator. It is too twitterish - suffers from attention deficit disorder. Hmm, maybe TP and IOM were too expensive for Slate to continue. A shame really. I hate it when great ...

  • Slatest Fails to Replace Today's Papers

    What I liked about Today's Papers was that it provided a one-page summary and analysis of the major news headlines, and it had personality and humor. Slatest is just a collection of links, like so many others. I have no interest in clicking through a dozen pages. I read the online NYT when I have time; Today's Papers is--was the quick and ...

  • Missing Today's Papers1

    I think the editors of Slate have entirely misunderstood what people like myself enjoyed about ''Today's Papers.'' It wasn't a news aggregator, good or bad; it was an entertaining column about the day's top news stories. CNN comes up as my home page. I subscribe to 20 RSS feeds and often check in with HuffPost. I have no need to scan a ...

  • Demise of T/P (part deux)

    I have to agree with what other have written here: Slatest does not appear to be a substitute for T/P, and there are plenty of other places to go for up-to-the-minute stories (MSNBC.com and CNN.com, for example). I valued the comparison of news sources, the narrative format, and the cumulative summary aspects of T/P. Boy, first we lose ...

  • Demise of Today's Papers

    Boo. It looks like you are losing the comparitive aspect of Today's Papers, which was one of it's most valuable features.

  • Slate FAIL (plus an online TP alternative)

    I cannot begin to express my disappointment with the decision to discontinue Today's Papers. Even more so than multivitamins or dark roast coffee, TP has been my daily launch pad for years now. I have never commented on a news article or even viewed Fray comments before, but I feel I have no choice but to register my frustration now. Others ...
