  • Dan Kennedy: 2012 will bring "the great retrenchment" among newspaper publishers

    Updated: 2011-12-22 16:33:24
    Following years of retreat in the face of shrinking readership, mounting financial losses, and a rising chorus of digital visionaries telling them they're doing it all wrong, 2012 will be a year of retrenchment for newspaper publishers.Still standing some three years after the near-implosion of the newspaper industry in 2008 and 2009, executives will point to their continued existence as proof that their situation was never as bad as it seemed, and that a few tweaks here and there will restore them to pink-cheeked, if downsized, health.Continue reading on Nieman Journalism Lab

  • Why not a reverse meter?

    Updated: 2011-12-20 16:40:19
    by Jeff JarvisAs I ponder the future of The New York Times, it occurred to me that its pay meter could be exactly reversed. I'll also tell you why this wouldn't work in a minute. But in any case, this is a way to illustrate how how media are valuing our readers/users/customers opposite how we should, rewarding the freeriders and taxing -- and perhaps turning away -- the valuable users. So try this on for size: Imagine that you pay to get access to The Times. Everyone does. You pay for one article.Continue reading on BuzzMachine

  • My 2012 Watch List

    Updated: 2011-12-20 08:54:48
    When it comes to cracking the digital media code, 2011 involved more testing than learning. Media companies seem to be locked in a feverish search mode. Their sense of urgency is reinforced by the continuous depletion of worldwide fundamentals: digital advertising's encephalogram remains flat (at best); and when audiences grow, revenues do not necessarily correlate. As for legacy media such as large quality newspapers which still draw 70-80% of their revenue from print, they are still caught in a double jeopardy: losing circulation plus looming downward price pressure on ads.Continue reading on Monday Note

  • The Problem with Paywalls

    Updated: 2011-12-19 08:19:52
    The concept of paywalls, which publishers continue to agonise over, is a by-product of our digital age. But, writes Ross Sturley, there are some valuable lessons to learn from an earlier wall-building exercise.Back in the sixteenth century, there was a bit of a hoohah about 'enclosures'. Landowners were building walls around their land to keep the peasants off it. While the land had not been truly free for a long time, the peasants got upset as they felt some right of way or use was being taken away from them. Continue reading on InPublishing

    PULLMAN, Wash. - A study out of Washington State University shows that people who are frequent readers of a daily newspaper tend to be more trusting of others than those who read newspapers less frequently. The effect holds for both residents of small towns and big cities, even though researchers found small town residents are more trusting in general than city dwellers.Continue reading on WSU News
