The first big media shoe drops

The Christian Science Monitor said Tuesday it will become the first national newspaper to drop its daily print edition and focus on publishing online. Beginning next April, the Boston-based general-interest paper, founded in 1908 and the winner of seven Pulitzer Prizes, will print only a weekend edition. In 1970, the Monitor's circulation was 230,000. Today it's 50,000.
