Harper's website redesign

New on the (redesigned) website of Harper's magazine:

Ken Silverstein's blog, Washington Babylon, which I rarely read, is joined by Scott Horton's news analysis blog, No Comment, previously available only via email.

Also: "Over a quarter-million scans from 157 years, thousands of interlinked topic pages, and an array of unique web-only content." (Free to subscribers.) Does this mean I can finally throw away those boxes of Harper's up in the attic? I think I started saving them in 1992.

Scott Esposito, at the blog Conversational Reading, says: "Busy is something of an understatement. But, I have to say I do like it. And it looks like they are upping their web content, which I consider a good thing. Now if they would just release a number of articles from each issue on the web when it's published, as The New Yorker does." I pretty much agree with that statement.

PS: Did Harper's pen this note after Lethem's critique of copyright ran?

Copyright law is deeply flawed and can be criminally abused, but we count on it to survive. We support fair use and encourage you to liberally quote passages of a few paragraphs (and please link when you do so). But please don't post our PDFs, page images, or full text articles to other sites.

Meet the new Harper's.
