Good riddance.
If this becomes a business case to bring back something closer to real journalism, it is a good day. The NSA/prism story is really well-suited to this format.

#4Since I became wedded to my Kindle for consuming journalism thanks to the superb sites such as http://longreads.org and http://longform.org * my reading time has exploded, plus I pay for services where possible as I am in need of their curation.

You just made me realise why Google Glasses et al are such potential money makers.
