They should have started embracing the internet much sooner. About 8 years ago when it because very obvious that the Internet was only going to be getting bigger they should have put some more eggs in the Internet basket. The papers that figure it out will be 100% digital soon and still providing good content. Being digital will mean having a much smaller staff but with the same ability to reach their communities.

And when it comes to newspapers i would never consider using an Online One the printed one is just much much better

I have a hard time focusing on a screen for too long a time. I agree with you that their insisting on people to log in is defeating the purpose of winning people over. It's much like insisting people log in to leave a comment. Most won't and you've lost a potential reader/promoter/customer.

That's cool brother. 2010 may shape up to be a good year for us. Dude, this was one of your best articles. They are all good but you really spent some serious time on this one.

Hee-hee. Let those 8itches just keep doing what they've been doing is what I say.

I agree with you and your statement about papers disappearing with the boomers. I read this 2 years ago and think they are going in the right direction…

The Swedes, who jumped into the newspaper game back in 1645, are taking another great leap forward: what is said to be the oldest newspaper in the world has gone digital and is now available online, and online only.

Another thing to consider is the classifieds being used to advertise jobs. These days, you can post on multiple websites, including the biggies like Monster and CareerBuilder for less than $50. Big corporations buy "seats" to these sites at huge discounts and post hundreds of listings.Compare that to posting a 5 line job opening in your local newspaper at around $1500 (that's what I would pay here in the Chi).you know what is even funnier about that? … just all the required legal mumbo jumbo like "equal opp employer" and all that would take up 3 of your 5 lines! ROFLThe other issue: most newspaper job listings these days are inundated with "get rich quick" MLM garbage and very few "real" job listings.Sheesh, it's a wonder that ANY newspaper is in business anymore. I think once all the baby boomers are gone, there will be no one left to get a physical newspaper.AL
