Newspapers Schmew-papers – Stop Complaining and Get Onbaord!
I have written about newspapers here in the past and how they are rapidly heading toward obsolescence (in their current state at least). I am not changing my stance one bit because I still think it’s hard to ignore the signs and signals that it is a dying industry unless it truly adapts to the internet. To this point there have been successes but it appears as if the major players with the deep pockets are the ones that will brave the storm best. As for the local stuff? It’s anyone’s guess. I personally never visit the website of the Raleigh News and Observer which is the local paper here. What’s the point? It really adds no value so I am not going to waste my time. Well, now it appears that the fear of the big, mean Google / Yahoo! proposed partnership “monster” is making newspapers around the world unite and look even more pitiful than they already do.
Newspapers… Dead men, walking…?
