If newspapers, and to some extent magazines, don't get on board and adapt you are witnessing their final days.

I've been saying this for years. It's not a news flash...

Pricing is the issue. The article below speaks on that.

I can get all the news / info I want for free on the web. This has
been prints biggest issue.

Even the news on tv is old news when, if I ever do, I watch it.

Print needs to figure out how to supplement their business model to
adapt to today's consumer (and more importantly tomorrows consumer).
And when the time is right make this forum their primary model.

Will "subscribers" pay a premium for this medium? My thought is yes at
first. After the novelty wears off I suspect they won't. See third
paragraph above.

Time will tell but make no mistake, this is their last chance to
ensure their success in the future.
