The Vanishing Newspaper
In "The Vanishing Newspaper: Saving Journalism in the Information Age", Philip Meyer attempts to draw a correlation between newspaper quality and profits. He argues that a newspaper's main product is not news or information, but influence: societal influence, which is not for sale, and commercial influence, which is. By describing the factors that made journalism work as a business in the past, Meyer attempts to create a model to make it work as technology transforms the media landscape. But while his analysis is detailed and convincing, his solutions leave the reader wanting.
