But what if we turn on its head the idea of print and online working togther only and add to that video and virtualization, in the sense of the WSJ.com site inhabiting spaces that are not just "online" but are interactive, such as IPTV deployments in areas of the world where it is actively employed, like China, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong…

It doesn't take much thinking –and my threshold for conceptualization is admittedly low– to imagine a "newspaper" that drifts from device to device and inhabits spaces for information that are not traditionally the location for text or video based engagement.
