I'm not sure a student newspaper can be considered a "notable" press hit, but: http://www.nouse.co.uk/2011/06/01/the-end-of-sterling/

Bitcoin & The End of State-Controlled Money: Q&A with Jerry Brito
For shame, "tech-news-buzz".
If you're going to rip off a foreign article, at least proofread the translation output.

This appears to be a translation of an article that was probably originally in German. I was going to post a Google translation, but then I found the exact same article in English here: http://tech-news-buzz.blogspot.com/2011/05/bitcoin-currency-of-cia-and-hacker.html
http://techcrunch.com/2011/05/31/minno-rebrands-as-buysimple-partners-with-soundcloud-raises-700k-for-micropayments/
minno? Seriously? HA!
minno? Seriously? HA!
"...and it's got more mainstream appeal than Bitcoin."
It reads like an advertisment, not an independent article. Still, if this "new" micropayments system does have that kind of appeal, they would do well to start accepting Bitcoin as their in system currency before someone copies their model and releases it as an open source project.

Maybe, Techcrunch-author-whose-name-I-didn't-look-at, but you're comparing something that doesn't exist yet to something that already has an economy equivalent to 50 million US dollars and showing few signs of weakness. This is in spite of, rather than because of, bitcoin being a so-called techie niche.

Albeit both being notable German sources (for IT news and economy respectively), the article is not very in-depth and contains some of the usual inaccuracies (e.g. no transaction costs) and it also states a bit misleadingly, that currently there has to be invested more energy cost than the mined bitcoins will be worth later on.
The comments contain some of the usual bubble-talk

I just wrote an article about bitcoin on the back of a postage stamp. Space was really tight, so I think we've hit the big time now.
But yeah, it's kind of dumb, but print adds legitimacy in a lot of people's minds. And it does open to a different audience.

The point is simply that a web site has unlimited space, so they can publish as many articles as they want. A print publication is space-limited, so making it into print has greater significance due to selectivity.
This is a very good point. This is part of the reason that ancient literature seems to be of higher quality (relative to the time it was published) than modern literature.
Who cares about print anymore? I don't mean to be snarky, but seriously, I think we have reached a rubicon with respect to defining legitimacy according to which medium something is inscribed in.
Perhaps someone can commission a bronze plaque extolling the virtues of Bitcoin...

A version of this article appeared in print on May 30, 2011, on page B2 of the New York edition with the headline: Some Faint Praise for Mr. Ballmer.
Can anyone verify whether Bitcoin actually made the print edition?

Or better yet draw pictures of your kill after the hunt with blood on your cave wall. Seriously, cave painting drawings have and always be the only legitimate form of communication.

These are a couple of good articles that I thought I'd pass along:
