This is one of most interesting things I’ve read so far this week. One of the reasons why I’m quoting so is because Steve Rubel has declared a bet sort of thing. According to him, January, 2014 is the year when all sorts of tangible media will see its sharp decline or complete annihilation. Though I’ve asked this question to him about how he came to the conclusion but otherwise the mentioned facts are infallible. ...

While most major U.S. news organizations are fleeing the expensive realm of international coverage, the Global Post is poised to enter the space as an online-only organization. Charles Sennott is a veteran of the Boston Globe’s foreign desk. He laments the fact that many major metros like the Globe no longer have foreign bureaus. He believes, however, that the demand is still there for coverage of international news. Enter the Global Post. It is staffed ...

In Marc Andreessen’s world the Christian Science Monitor wouldn’t be the only traditional print product going online-only. In this interview in the latest edition of Portfolio, Andreessen, who is co-founder of Ning, Netscape and investor in Digg and Twitter, says the New York Times should cut its print losses and focus on ‘the market of the future’. If you were running the New York Times, what would you do? [Andreessen] Shut off the print edition ...

As of April of next year, the century-old Christian Science Monitor will discontinue its print operations, moving completely online in order to cut costs. According to the Monitor's editor, John Yemma, moving entirely to the Web will allow the paper to keep its foreign bureaus open. "We have the luxury — the opportunity — of making a leap that most newspapers will have to make in the next five years,” said Yemma. read more

Smart. I can see local newspapers being able to monetize very well online, especially in mobile. Imagine being able to contextually serve ads in your newspaper where the audience is very targeted (all local presumably), the context of the ad could match the article and even location for mobile users. Integrate something like Facebook Connect and you could target on even more factors AND integrate social aspects into your product. Sounds like a revolution to me.

The Christian Science Monitor is being faced with the same choice that the New York Times is facing: change or adapt. They’re wisely choosing adaptation, as word filters down through the blogosphere that the last print edition of the 100 year old national newspaper will soon come out. The question remains as to whether they’ll be able to sustain their current staff and editorial output under the new format. The Christian Science Monitor’s website is ...

The Christian Science Monitor will end weekday publication of its print edition next April, concentrating on a daily Web model. The Monitor will also be adding a Sunday magazine. Please excuse the wildly-misleading New York Times headline that says the Monitor will be online only. Top editor John Yemma said a decision on the future of the Monitor was coming this fall in the podcast I had with him a week ago. At the time, ...

Wow: The Christian Science Monitor, a highly respected 100-year-old paper with a circulation a lot smaller than its reputation, just announced that it will stop printing issues for good in April of next year. It will continue to publish online only. In doing so, the paper essentially gives up the cost—and "prestige"—of its money-losing print edition in exchange for being able to hold onto more of its reporting staff, including several foreign bureaus. The CSM ...

In case you've been in a cave the last few news cycles, it's been widely reported that the Anchorage Daily News, Alaska's largest newspaper, has endorsed Barack Obama. Typical was this from NPR's Morning Edition: Newspapers have been making presidential endorsements. Republican John McCain won the backing of his home state's largest paper, The Arizona Republic. The Chicago Tribune endorsed Chicago resident Barack Obama — the first time that paper has endorsed a Democratic candidate ...
