Do Newspapers Have a Future?
Quarreling about staff cuts and spending too much time focused on blogs, Michael Kinsley says the old medium is missing the bigger questions.
Newspapers are not missing the blog boat. They are running for it like the last train out of Paris. They hold their breath and look the other way as their most precious rules and standards get trampled in the rush, and figure they'll worry about that later.

4 comments about 'Do Newspapers Have a Future?'I'm so sick of the MSM referring to bloggers as "random lunatics riffing in their underwear." They obviously do not understand blogging or the influence it holds.
At it's most basic, it's self-publishing for the masses. But it can also be made to be a quality product that rivals, and often exceeds, the product put out by any newspaper in the country.

As long as they are able to migrate to the net and understand the net as a different media and not only as a copy of their own print version, newspapers will have a future.
