#1 Yes James. And there are still people who ride horses and if you go to Amish country they still employ the old horse and buggy. I'm sure the old media will still be around in the future, just like the big band sound can be found today someplace, somewhere. Its just that as the generations pass, those more comfortable with change at the speed of light will be found before their digital based technology rather than the bird cage liner.

#2 Resuscitating the Daily Newspaper

Maybe if the media simply stated the facts wirh regard to the news and let us come to our own conclusions, instead of slanting their "reporting" to suit their political views...

#7 He doesn't mention the real killer for newspapers - the lose of classified ads. Earlier this year online classifieds past (in volume) print ads in Oz. Not only are the ads a major revenue source, they are the reason many people buy the newspaper.
