Yeah so you’re thinking contentwise, I’m referring more to the technological aspect of newspapers and magazines.

Well yeah the magazine and paper industry sure needs a change. I believe they should give readers what they want and not all sort of crap. Give people a reason to read a particular magazine or paper, make them tell others whats the difference in a particular magazine and the others.

I understand, they definitely wouldn’t be able to cover their costs if they were 100% free but they need a new business model because no matter what at this rate, print will continue to go in a downward curve. Thanks for sharing.

I think if printed magazines and newspapers start delivering their stuffs for free, they will one day be forced to stop printing and go completely online. I don’t think they will be able to generate enough money for the printing cost if all their subscribers are not paying a penny. They have to bear the cost of papers and inks and lots of press related stuffs.

I don’t completely agree that printed newspapers/magazines should be overdrawn as lots of free online contents are available these days. In fact, we can relax while reading printed stuffs and at the same time we can concentrate more while reading a printed newspaper or magazine in any way comfortable to us.

It's all about free content nowadays. People just don't want to pay for mags/newspapers. I still like to read the physical paper or mag, but its often not worth the money when you think about all the content available on the web. The future of mags/papers will be interesting. .-= Alex Monroe´s last blog post: How long do you see yourself doing it? =-.

It is quite sad, but it it’s bound to happen as print becomes less popular. Those are also some great point,s thanks for sharing them.

It’s sad to see the recession and other factors affecting some very high quality publications. On the other hand, the media do need to come to account for:
-ignoring real news stories just because they can (these stories are broken by bloggers or other websites)
-grabbing leads from bloggers without crediting them
-not disclosing their entire web of relationships and monetary benefits from advertisers and the objects of their reviews
