Sorry to break it to you, Creek, but I don't think there's any hope saving newspapers. The entire industry's been impotent for years now.Comment

The best way to save newspapers is to have Obama elected every few months. That may be the last time that newsstands sell out of daily papers for a long time, if ever again.Get confident, stupid

The heading here is like asking, Can the typwriter be saved? We don't suffer for want of news. The New York Times, the "paper" I read, has been evolving its online persona. I haven't bought a paper newspaper in years.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

NBC and CBS would be dead now if they had stuck to radio broadcasting. There's no sense in crying over the death of the obsolete.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσινComment

When people talk about the 'death of the newspaper,' I don't think they are generally talking about the printed page. The shift of format from ink to pixels is only relevant inasmuch as news 'papers' have a higher profit margin than online content.
How can the news business be saved? That is the real question, no? This is about the decline of professional journalism jobs. Professional journalists, with deep knowledge of a beat, access to the best contacts, and the time to develop a story, will provide a superior news product compared to Joe Blogger.
Newspaper editors aren't resigning over paper sales. They are throwing in the towel when the industry lays off half of the news room and then expects a quality product.Comment
