Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

Crisis in the newspaper industry. The future of journalism.

This is an interesting piece on the BBC website about the crisis hitting the US newspaper industry.
It highlights the effect on the industry of people getting news from digital sources, and the effect on revenues of the current downturn in advertising spend. To be expected in the current economic gloom, but it won't last.
The question though is when we do claw our way out of the gloom, where will the future advertising spend be?
It looks like there will be fewer newspapers, at least in the US, but I would guess many of them will retain their online content. So print and online advertising in future, and online journalism is the future.
