Classic News

The New York Times is taking it back old school with its Op-Classic series. It consists of featuring commentary from The Time's archive in an attempt to give new, yet old, perspective to current issues. I think this is genius. Check out the link:

I am not entirely sure if this is is limited to the website, but if it were I think it will create yet another opportunity for users to comment or create discussions. I think that people quickly forget the chronology of most issues or events so I can see this as being a great step for not just the online world but for journalism as a whole.
