Christian Science Monitor makes web-only decision, and drops print editions.

In the course of debate over the impact of the Internet on traditional media, this news of the Monitor going wholly online is earthshaking. A one hundred year old respected independent news outlet, one less prone to depend on wire service feeds than most other papers, no longer will be a paper.

If proof of the impact of the Internet is needed beyond the contractions already happening in the newspaper world, this decision is it. Definitive. This is big time news.
