I kid you not. Dead tree media (paper) is in terminal trouble and has been for sometime.The Guardian master company lost £33m this last year. I think it was near £40m the year before.
The TimesOnline behind a paywall is suffering having lost nine tenths of its online audience.
My blog has just made £60 in six months.
Local newspapers are also haemoraging cash through lack of advertising care of Google, Ebay and other online companies.
One way forward is for government to pay to keep newspapers going. It is vital that local papers keep going but perhaps they would be afraid to bite the hand that feeds.
Fearful times ahead for traditional media.
The way forward perhaps is local blogs like mine but much better. All the community having a say and contributing.
