The Anachronistic David Carr

New York Times reporter David Carr, columnizing about Rupert Murdoch and News Corp.'s iPad newspaper project The Daily: "The Daily will have a separate opinion section, which will seem wildly anachronistic to readers who have grown up reading news and point-of-view analysis in the same piece of digital journalism."

Does Mr. Carr also find the separate opinion section in the print, Web, and iPad versions of the New York Times anachronistic? Or is it only anachronistic when Mr. Murdoch does it? If Mr. Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, New York Post, and Fox News are any indication, it's not as if the opinion will be a news-free zone, either.
