True enough, the world wide web almost has everything, just a click or type away that at times you can think that printed media doesn't stand a chance anymore. However, printed media also has some aspects that the world wide web cannot duplicate and that is the knowledge that is always so detailed in books, or the crisp of the morning paper. Although the flame of printed media is somewhat dying, it will not totally flicker out for me since some would still be publishing books, newspapers, etc. More or less, a part of me agrees and a part disagrees.

True, a lot of what is printed (in Newspapers especially, but other places too) is pretty skewed, though it’s hardly a “left wing” issue, and far more a “crazy bastards” issue which ranges the whole political spectrum depending on the specific publication.

Many publishers use the paper to promote thier extreme left wing agenda. The believe thier readers are to stupid to know that what is being published in not news but left wing propaganda. Thier readers are not as dumb as they think they are. Another reason for decline in sales, at least in part, is due to the what is being published in these newspapers.

There is just no effective way to replace the "local" aspect of a paper in digital form...yet. Though there are projects in the work that might eventually do it, it's still far off. The big guys though, are just flat-out doomed, since they are so easily replaced by a digital version. I doubt that paper media will die completely (not for a long long time at least), but things are changing very quickly, and those that don't start adapting now are in serious trouble in the next few years.

The industry will never be the same and I believe we will see even more household name brand publications go away by 2010. What I don't see, is the presses ever stopping completely. While it is easy to see what effect the net and new media has had on all traditional media, there is no really effective way to deliver time sensitive ads to a large "local" group" through online deliver. If an idea comes along that can change this fact, then that would be the ultimate end. My opinion though is that the newspaper industry is forever changed, but models do exist that will be supported by both advertiser and news consumer.
