The folks at Education Week deserve lots-o-kudos for their phenomenal coverage of the conventions. I have to admit that I've wondered of late whether Ed Week could survive the downturn in the journalism business. That's still an open question--and it's pretty clear from the outside that EW is increasingly dependent upon foundation grants. But with its embrace of blogging, on-the-ground reporting, and now even video, here's hoping that the answer is yes. Particularly as schools receive less attention from the media writ large, it's important to have American education's "newspaper of record" not just surviving, but thriving.
