On today’s show, Vanity Fair’s Todd Purdum reveals what he learned during a recent interview with Vice President Dick Cheney. Plus, a New York Times reporter describes writing his first thriller. Later on, we’ll hear about one woman’s unusual quest for fame. And to start it all off, a panel discussion on how newspapers are adapting to the internet.
Adapting Newspapers to the Internet
Rich Meislin, Associate Managing Editor for the New York Times, and Jim Brady, Executive Editor of washingtonpost.com, describe the ways in which websites interact with and reflect the hard-copy editions of newspapers. In recent months, many newspapers have improved their sites, adding features like blogs, chats, and videos. We'll ask how content decisions are made, and how readers use online newspapers.

New York Times reporter Alex Berenson describes writing his first thriller, The Faithful Spy. The novel was inspired by his experiences covering the war in Iraq.

Dick Cheney: The Man Behind the Image
