That Deseret News CEO Clark Gilbert has made digital news the priority at the expense of its print edition could not be more obvious.

The Moment When the Police Lost the Occupy Portland Narrativenew
During a choreographed effort to pull a few dozen protesters out of the Chase bank branch, part of a hundreds-strong day of action, Portland police officers resorted to a decidedly more muscular show of force in a clash watched by TV cameras and rush-hour commuters.
