For example, a local newspaper has decided to stop delivering the paper to certain locations because it is actually costing them more to drive there and deliver than they are actually making. Another example would be when the company pulls a newstand in a location or street corner that doesn't turn over quickly enough and will move it to a more lucritive spot. (while circulation decreases in said zip code, it increases in another).Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198110577543216686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-59909301999608852442010-04-28T07:55:26.284-07:002010-04-28T07:55:26.284-07:00Online media is the future.

We'll have to wait till the electronic generation is older. Many people that are older prefer newspapers. That is because they were not raised with items like iPods and iPads. What i see in the future is, which they might have something like this floating around somewhere, that there will be a device that will recieve the newspaper anywhere you go. Many things (smartphones) already have some type of capability. <br /><br />I actually disagree with the government funding though. Journalism I feel doesn't need it. There will always be news, this field is advanceing not dying out. Time for people to look towards the future cause we seem to be heading that way regardless of what people want.Cory Keaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351485937383219433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-22234589661585818222010-04-27T23:26:25.771-07:002010-04-27T23:26:25.771-07:00This isn't good news.

Does anyone really think that print news will ever be extinct? I don't think it is pheasable but those in this industry for money better start moving online and they better do it fast.

Our changing market will not continue to invest in journalism coverage if they can't make a certain profit level. <br /><br />I'm not sure what business model could save the industry, but after hearing about the loss of coverage and journalists over the past few years, it is very concerning to me that we are getting only limited information for news and what we get may be based upon profitability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-24247809383738157942010-04-26T21:33:22.809-07:002010-04-26T21:33:22.809-07:00The Wall Street Journal was the only newspaper you...The Wall Street Journal was the only newspaper you listed whose readership increased. You mentioned that this was likely due to their online subscription being counted as a separate subscription, in essence, counting doubly. <br /><br />My parents receive the WSJ, and the online subscription comes free with a year's print subscription. It's quite strange that the WSJ counted its online subscription but others like the Times did not.Rachel Gullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398009400664661716noreply@blogger.com
