THE NEW NYT GLOBAL INTERNET EDTION IS A GREAT IDEA WHO'SE TIME HAS COME...
WITH THE DECLINE OF PRINT HARDCOPY NEWSPAPERS NOW SET IN STONE...ONLY A FEW LARGE CITIES WILL STILL HAVE A HARDCOPY NEWSPAPER IN A FEW YEARS...
THERE IS ROOM FOR SMALL PRINTING... HYPER-LOCAL HARDCOPY PAPERS...BUT THESE ARE GOING TO BE MICRO BUSINESSES SIMILAR TO THOSE "NEWSLETTERS" THAT SOME RETAIL STORES HAVE AVAILABLE FOR CUSTOMERS...
PRINT IS CHANGING...HABIT IS MEETING ECONOMICS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE GUTTENBURG ATTACKED THE SCRIBES GUILDS....
THAT SAID THE INTERNET SHOULD NOT BE THE DEATH OF LOCAL JOURNALISM...IN FACT IT COULD START THE GOLDEN AGE OF LOCAL NEWS...
THE TRAIN HAS LEFT THE STATION ON PULP NEWSPAPERS...
