The Philadelphia Inquirer has issued orders that no news articles be placed on the newspaper’s Website until AFTER the story appears in print. This includes “signature investigative reporting, enterprise, trend stories, news features, and reviews of all sorts.” Some breaking news might make it to their site, but that’s it.

A brief look at what the media is saying about itself:
