I too like DJ and wish him success. Consider my comments as gentle noodging. My take on the financial pressure being felt by print media is that those readers who used to buy a paper for want-ads, classifieds, tv schedules, lottery numbers, sports scores, et al. have gone to more immediate sources or lists like Craig's which are free. I'm guessing that a huge chunk of that readership weren't really print news consumers. I'm also guessing that there is a narrower audience out there which is still interested in news and analysis by professional journalists both in print and online. I'm willing to pay for both.

Thanks Mario for being specific in your illustration. We all wish DJ and TCN luck, but it ain't a newspaper and the NYT story was misleading. I have thought often about the relationship between the web and print and whether publishers should make the print available on the web for free. Some do and some don't. I pay for some and not (refuse) for others. But I suspect that print may be in the same position of buggy whip manufacturers. All of this could have been the substance of the NYT story rather than the misleading success story of our local Pennysaver. **************New year...new news.
