Making a dollar
The first part of a piece on 'What Newspapers and Their Web Sites Must Do to Survive' has just been published on Online Journalism Review (http://www.ojr.org/). Written by online publishing consultant Vin Crosbie, the piece alleges that : "Printed editions are becoming ever less relevant and less popular in most people's lives. Worse, the decline in newspaper readership is accelerating." In response, he claims that "the newspaper industry has spent billions of dollars during the past 10 years creating and publishing online editions", many of which may be making money, but have yet to recoup their start up costs. He offers a three-part solution to newspapers on how to survive. Read the whole piece at http://www.ojr.org/ojr/business/1078349998.php. It's all part of a wider look at OJR at the future of online news http://ojr.org/ojr/business/future.php. Posted by belinda at March 8, 2004 11:28 AMEmail this
