I think the issue is that people in general are losing faith in the concept of journalism. They don't think journalists strive to be objective in their reporting. So they gravitate to the "news" sources that tell them what they want to hear. I don’t think the issue is young people not appreciating print media.

And our laziness (or craving for speed, speed, speed). And change: I'm a PR agency owner; we subscribe to 5 dailies. They arrive at our doorstep every morning. But what do I do? I get my news at 6 a.m. when I log and view Yahoo headlines or the NY Times edition via email or by a quick check in on Twitter. By the time I get to the office, I'm somewhat apprised. That said, there is NOTHING like caressing a section. Folding it the way I want it. Saving it. Savoring it. Tonight I shall do the crossword. Speaking of Twitter, follow @TheMediaIsDying. It ain't just those folks in Philly. It’s really about the Internet. And our laziness (or craving for speed, speed, speed). And change: I’m a PR agency owner; we subscribe to 5 dailies.

The customer base of newspapers is dying off by the day. The younger generation doesn’t see the value of print media and newspapers haven’t tried to accommodate them. An excellent model is Investor’s Business Daily. I spend a pretty penny for the paper and the online resources because both have individual value. Although local newsprint is different from investment publications, I think the eventual solution is value in both print and online, with a shared revenue structure. what other solutions are out there? Otherwise I think we need to bail-out the papers and privatize them:) Brian Marchant-Calsyn Pete is on the money. The customer base of newspapers is dying off by the day.

No,the revenue from one newspaper website can't replace the revenue from the traditional newspaper. Not yet. But where is the innovation? Where are the multiple websites that can increase reader interest and broaden the revenue base? Why isn't the industry bringing in people from outside the industry who understand today's media? Yes, the economic climate hastened the decline, but it was going to happen sooner than later and the industry was, and is, in denial. I applaud the effort, but innovation is essential.
