News papers should buy the classified ads sites like www.adsglobe.com to continue to dominate this space. ReplyMore Evidence That Online Advertising Is Slowing (and Newspapers Are Suffering) [view article]
What goes around...Many/Most newspapers support left wing socialist democrats.
As the business industry that they despise makes less money there is less dollars for advertising. They, along with all of us, suffer as a result of their decisions. As the government they love usurps more of our money, we have less available to buy their rags. Reply

Memo to Print: It’s the Multiples [view article]
Newspaper execs have had their head in the sand (and other places) for 25 years. Most top management in the industry was promoted on seniority, not productivity - or nepotism (the right last name). They keep blabbing that their readers are going to the internet - WRONG! They are going to the grave! Yes, they are dying off. Quit blaming the internet and wake up. The ad execs in the industry have no clue how to market or sell advertising. Think about this: for 20 years readership is done, but duringthe same time, their ad rates go up. Hmmm, isn't that what advertising is all about? Eyeballs? Less eyeballs, rates hould be less, but not in the holier than thou daily newspaper! In every major city its biggest employers, small businesses (less than 25 employees) are priced out of the daily newspaper - regardless of ad execs saying our TMC or "zoned" issues cover them they are drunk. They have no clue what is going on in the real world. When was the last time the VP of adv or Publisher called on a small business for advertising? It never happens. They're fat, lazy and counting the daystil they can retire and hope their retirement plan is still active. They price their online web sites to the point you need a PhD to figure it out - most are way overpriced/valued by the newspaper. They just don't get it. Never will, never will change. So hold on to your union news rooms, hold on to your old fossil ways of doing business, I hope to see you in the soup lines! I for one will not cry for you.

Newspapers will not disappear as long as the cable companies keep includig them in their subscriptions 'free' and keep throwing them in your dirveway, no matter how many times you ask them to stop. I have tried several times but its no use. They lay in my driveway, it rains, and they turn into turds that I have to shovel up. I wish Ballmer was right though. ReplyGeneral Discussion on JRN
As I sit before this computer, I can't wait to get away from this annoying screen and get to reading my newspaper. The only reason I'm not already doing that is I'm waiting for a break in the rain to go out to the mailbox to get it. Nothing beats reading the news and ads while sitting in my most comfortable chair. It's one of the simple pleasures of life. ReplyBallmer on Newspapers: Wrong Again [view article]
Ballmer is the dumbest CEO in the country. He has not been right on anyting of importance in his entire tenure as CEO. He is wrong about newspapers. ReplyMicrosoft's Ballmer Kills Print [view article]
If he only half right there is merit in delivery and connectivity...Thus a Yahoo purchase is required to help get there. Content is everywhere! ReplyMicrosoft's Ballmer Kills Print [view article]
Ballmer's vision of the printed word only reflects the mindset of someone deluded enough to want to buy Yahoo.....(Yahoo is a backwards-thinking corporate mess only concerned with bonuses and corporat peck order squabbling, as anyone knowing anyone who has worked there is totally aware)...sure there will be a fallout in the printed world.....and I suspect there will be a lot more pictures and fewer words as digital cameras make pictures cheaper and decline in education and demand for anything more than sound bite makes serious journalism scarcer....even now, photography has been (with few exceptions)turning into the sorting of stochastic images as opposed to the clarity and thoughtful selectivity demanded by the slower and far more expensive constraints imposed by the halide image as practiced by Eisenstadt, Cartier-Bresson, David Douglas Duncan, Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and their generation and forbears..although the net is a truly wonderful development in the advancement of communication and information distribution, it has not really found a replacement for the photojournalism lost with LIFE magazine, and is not inherently capable of doing so...fundamentally the intrinsic characteristics of what might be termed spirit and soul of the net is not of the same cloth as of the printed word.....
It is a tragic loss to print that newspapers no longer can (or have not yet learned to) generate the resources absolutely necessary to support the extensive research staff needed to produce thought provoking reflective journalism..at some point, hopefully as soon as possible, there be a backlash to mass shallowness, (don't hold your breath quite yet) and there will be a stable niche for thoughtful printed word....
The same phemomenon as newspapers are experiencing has already happened in the world of science--two generations ago primary scientific literature consisted of books by a single author (possibly with one or two close collaborators) who really understood, and could explain with absolute command and clarity, the overall broad aspects of his field .....the scientific "book" has now devolved almost exclusively into sound bite compilations of proliferating publish-or-perish symposia...meaningfuln... has largely fallen prey to "news"..it is bit hard to envision a Newton writing "Principia", or Laplace writing "la Mecanique Celeste" in this day and age......

Print Is Toast - Ballmer [view article]
Look at the issues in their distinct parts:Ballmer was addressing the DELIVERY modalities.
Internet content delivery will still be supported by printers, which are likely to become more sophisticated.
Oral transmissions (unless captured on other media) are of transient value or impact on cognition, but function well with the objectives of commercial advertising; whilst the latter is often disruptive in the other formats.
Demand for news and information content will continue, but the BUSINESS MODELS for its production (like that for visual media elsewhere) will have to change and adapt.

Ballmer on Newspapers: Wrong Again [view article]
I am hardcopy subscriber to 2 papers, I am 50, see very few people under 35 buying newspapers regularly which is sad as need support for local coverage or all we will get is national news. Lets face it, many 20 somethings spend more time of Facebook than reading any news from any sources. ReplyBallmer on Newspapers: Wrong Again [view article]
my son is a producer for AP online and HE has several magazine subscriptions and reads actual books. since he's in a newsroom all the time, he doesn't get newspapers delivered, but he does read them all online (we both read the Washington Post online).if you go into a large bookstore, you'll see people loading up on magazines to read and you'll see the kids reading those 'adult comics' and magazines AND books. they ALL have computers, often with them, but they still read the word printed on paper.
i design special zoo exhibits and i always include books the kids can look through...and they go straight to them, holding them close when they leave, not wanting to let go of them. This bodes well for the printed word at least through the next 2 generations!
and have you noticed that there are a lot more magazines these days?
there's a reason. Reply
