Will Wireless Kill Print Media?

Maybe, but you can't discount what they are printing as a significant source of their own misery.

Maybe, but it often seems that crappy media are marketing better than good ones.

By not having a decent scheme in place for charging modestly for downloads, with suitable distribution to creators as well as the conveying system, wireless is getting kind of a free ride (or being paid by roundabout means like advertising). Not that this is wrong, exactly; just part of the picture.

Newspapers need to advance to the year 2010. Most are still doing the same thing that they did prior to WWII.

Unions are in ths same boat.

And I am certain you could come up with a dozen other businesses and industry.

Imagine a company still manufacturing typewriters.

Actually newspapers and magazines have adapted quite a bit in taking up and using new technologies.

For instance it has been long the case that the Wall Street Journal has used telemetry to transmit to local printers the paper, instead of having them all printed and delivered out of NYC.

Digital cameras and the way papers are laid out and sent for printing have long now been done on computers.

Many a read I do online comes from professional news organizations of long standing.

Really I'm not sure why they don't get a cut from bills I pay to connection companies that allow me to see writings I'd have expected to pay for at a news stand in the years past.
