Listening to newspapers: like reading TV

By Steve Safran 

The Washington Times has partnered with Newsworthy which has developed technology that lets you listen to an article online. (Seems to me this has been done before.) The headlines says “Don’t have time to read the news? Listen instead!” Don’t know about you – but it would take me a lot longer to listen to an article than to read one. Paidcontent calls the addition “shovelware” and finds it of little use, except perhaps for the sight-impaired. Agreed.
