2009 Legislature: Educators' Priorities
We continue our series on the 2009 session of the Washington Legislature. We'll hear what educators are lobbying for in Olympia. The president of the Washington Education Association, the state's largest public school employees' union, joins us.
Can the P.I. Become an Online Newspaper?
If the Seattle Post–Intelligencer isn't sold within 60 days it will be shut down entirely — unless it turns into an online paper. Could the P–I survive online?

Don Tapscott on the Net Generation
Eleven years ago Don Tapscott came up with the term "net generation" to describe young people growing up in the digital world. Tapscott wrote an influential book, "Growing Up Digital," in 1997. That was before Google, high–speed Internet and Twitter. Now he's back with a progress report on the net generation called "Grown Up Digital." How is the net generation different from past generations?
