Thank you, Ian, for making the point I think a lot of people are missing: news outlets don’t just provide newspapers, they provide the news. How many blogs are just reacting to news they’ve read that was reported by a newspaper? Not all newspapers are going to be able to survive as an online only publication, so all that “news” you read online won’t be there. Print is in trouble, but I scratch my head at why so many people are practically cheering at the death of newspapers. Newspapers have been slow to react and many aren’t taking the right steps to survive (and I think bloggers and online media are a great complement to traditional newspapers) but if newspapers can’t find a way to survive, good luck getting your news, even online.

For the most part, most of the news is coming from DC. How many newspapers do we need to cover that? Newspapers, being relatively liberal, have sealed their fate by promoting federal solutions to everything. What they don’t realize is their lack of criticism on the federal governments swelling beyond its constitional limits, or just being limited, has created the opportunity for their own demise.

Smaller federal government increaes the role of state and local government. More state and local government news means more reporting opportunities for local newspapers, and for the most part eliminates most bloggers who stick to national issues.

I found your blog entry while searching for “decline of newspapers” and, after reading it, would like to comment on your assumptions.

You noted that the increase in online ad revenue was not enough to support the decrease in print revenue. I disagree.

The print revenue has to be looked at from a larger perspective. First, the sheer cost of newsprint is about 60% of the overall cost incurred to print the newspaper today, so I have read. Second, the environmental cost has to be considered.

The variable cost to online ad revenue is minimal considering that almost all of the costs for news production go to staff and editorial, not web geeking. And, the web guys are certainly not as expensive as that newsprint.

So, it is my feeling that the online ad revenue increases are sufficient to keep up the organizations.

This is my dream for the future of newspapers: no trees cut down and everyone with a wafer-thin, foldable electronic newspaper that hooks up to a satellite, can be read anywhere and requires a subscription to the NY Times – just like the good old days. We are going to be there soon, folks.
