There is one big idea underpinning this entire site, and it is a simple one. Internet news sites are not limited to following the breaking-news model that dominates newspapers, weekly newsmagazines, and television. That model works for media that must pull readers in daily or weekly, but it emphasizes new developments at the cost of deeper understanding and it fails to serve people who might be curious about an issue independent of that day's news cycle. The Internet can follow different models, and Newsaic is an attempt to embrace this opportunity by:
analyzing the issues and events that inspire television shows such as the West Wing, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Saturday Night Live, and JAG, , turning the shows back into news in an audience-friendly format,
presenting comprehensive coverage on issues such as Social Security, affirmative action, and cloning,
tracking major legal cases such as those involving Microsoft and Slobodan Milosevic, and
providing resources such as annotated versions of major speeches and documents (i.e., the most recent State of the Union address and the Constitution).
