It will go away only if people stop buying it. I think the top-of-the-line
national papers like NYT and Wall Street Journal are safe, perhaps also
Washington Post. For the rest, they need to explore new business models and new
ways of doing things. Sometimes I think the papers are their own worst enemy,
though. An example: I want to keep up with what is happening in Denmark, and I
do so mostly by watching the evening news from Danish TV online every day. But
of course I also miss the deeper analysis that a quality newspaper can provide,
and so I checked on prices of electronic subscriptions to a couple of the
leading papers. In all cases, the price was based on sending a paper edition to
me in Spain. No special price for electronic delivery. Sorry, but that's just
19th century thinking and if they continue to think that way, they are doomed.
Cheers,
Nathan
