AppleInsider | NPR, WSJ plan Flash-free Web sites for Apple iPad

> This week Peter Kafka with *MediaMemo* revealed that both NPR and the *Journal* will convert at least [some portions](http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/20100315/for-npr-the-ipad-means-a-new-app-and-a-new-web-site/) of their Web site to load properly on the iPad. The custom-built sites will feature the same content and run concurrently with the traditional and iPhone/mobile-friendly versions of each Web site. > > “Visitors to the newspaper’s front page will see an iPad-specific, Flash-free page,” Kafka said of the *Journal’s* iPad Web site. “But those who click deeper into the site will eventually find pages that haven’t been converted.” How long before NPR and the Wall Street Journal get tired of paying site designers to offer content both ways, and eventually just lose the Flash parts altogether?

Apple’s strategy to kill Flash is working out beautifully. And the rest of us will benefit greatly from it.
